SANTANA SLAMS BUSH


Latin rock guitarist CARLOS SANTANA has slammed US President GEORGE W BUSH, using the words of late superstar JIMI HENDRIX to attack the war in Iraq. The SMOOTH hitmaker is horrified by the US-led military action and is urging American citizens to speak-out against war. And he insists the political leader needs to take notice of Hendrix's philosophies. He says, "I have wisdom. I feel love. I live in the present and I try to present a dimension that brings harmony and healing. "My concept is the opposite of George W Bush. "There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war. "As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets."

He became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band The Santana Blues Band, which created a highly successful blend of salsa, rock, blues, and jazz fusion. Their sound featured his often high-pitched and clean guitar lines set against Latin instrumentation such as timbales and congas. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades, and experienced a sudden resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. Over his career he

Return of a legend

Carlos Santana in conversation with Metro Plus

BACK TO WEAVE HIS MAGIC Carlos Santana performs at a concert

Carlos Santana's latest album, 'I'm Feeling You' sees him collaborate with

Gen-now artistes like Sean Paul and Black Eyed Peas. He speaks to Metro Plus about the culmination of musical genres, reunion with Michelle Branch and his regard for beautiful India.

You are one of the very few artistes to have a legendary career of 38 albums to your credit. What is the idea behind collaborating with younger, less experienced artistes like Will.I.Am (from Black Eyed peas), Sean Paul and Joss Stone?

Santana: I wanted to expand my fan base and I'm genuinely a fan of all the artists collaborating in my album. Will.I.Am is a genius. He is a professional through and through.

What is remarkable is how music is truly one language and the boundaries that existed between genres don't seem to exist anymore. It is okay now to listen to Santana and at the same time someone like Justin.

Your trademark music has a feel-good vibe running through it, but is mellow at the same time. Is this a deliberate effort?

Santana: I think anything fits with anything as long as the intent is pure.

Look at the whole bootleg phenomenon! I think my music fits with anything- I'm particularly happy this time with the track I've done with Steven (from Aerosmith) and also the one with Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas.

The first single from your new album, 'I'm Feeling You' is getting a lot of media hype since it marks your reunion with Michelle Branch. What should audiences expect from the song?

Santana: When people hear this unpretentious song of young love in the city, they will realize that Michelle Branch is a romantic poet in the tradition of Carole King.

Michelle is like a beautiful diamond. Yes, it's our second time on record together, but it was necessary for me to follow my heart.

Where would the album, 'All That I Am' feature in your musical career? Does it mark Santana who is bringing back all his experiences, or does it project a Santana who is about to begin a new chapter in his musical life?

Santana: Believe me, between the years 1973 through 1997, I had played all kinds of music, but it took Clive to make me realize the importance of going back to a more popular base. Our honeymoon is far from over.

Any particular form of music that has influenced the sound of the new album?

Santana: I pleasantly defer to Clive (Davis). Clive has an ear for hits, but he is also unafraid to send producers and songwriters back to the studio until a song is perfect.

Clive is one of those rare people who knows what a song needs to attract all humans, and I'm just grateful that after first signing me so many years ago, we're still working together. What we do together in the studio is not a gimmick, its grace.

After the success of 'Smooth' and 'Maria Maria,' your fan-following in India has grown tremendously. Any particular message to your Indian fans?

Santana: Well, I will be there soon, but I'll keep it quiet as I like to do, if it's a personal visit. India to me is a great collection of colour - colour in all its definitions and avatars - the people are colourful, the music is colourful too, and even the colours themselves are so colourful.
