@@@@@


3
00:00:22,523 --> 00:00:24,108
Do you believe in magic?

4
00:00:24,984 --> 00:00:28,279
I'm not talking about illusions and mirages.

5
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:34,618
Magic controls the elements
and conquer the hearts of the people.

6
00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:38,706
The magic.

7
00:00:39,498 --> 00:00:40,750
Don't cheat on them.

8
00:00:41,417 --> 00:00:42,752
The stream of grace.

9
00:01:00,644 --> 00:01:07,318
This guy, this young man, had eyes,
the heart and the big ears.

10
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:29,590
There is some music
that drives you to celebrate,

11
00:01:30,549 --> 00:01:33,969
and when you celebrate something,
you stop feeling afraid.

12
00:01:34,470 --> 00:01:37,014
The only thing left is pleasure.

13
00:01:44,271 --> 00:01:46,357
That's the real magic.

14
00:01:47,483 --> 00:01:48,818
Like a hurricane.

15
00:01:49,985 --> 00:01:51,195
Like an earthquake.

16
00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:53,739
Like a tornado.

17
00:02:03,707 --> 00:02:06,252
You can shake the foundations of the world.

18
00:02:34,029 --> 00:02:36,532
I've seen Stevie Ray play
and Jimi Hendrix.

19
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,286
To Coltrane and Bob Marley.

20
00:02:41,579 --> 00:02:42,746
Real musicians.

21
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:44,790
They describe it as a force
of nature.

22
00:02:49,003 --> 00:02:55,134
They cause some type of transformation
of the molecular structure

23
00:02:55,217 --> 00:02:57,595
through sound,
resonance and vibration.

24
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,566
My father used to say:

25
00:03:54,652 --> 00:03:55,653
"Follow me."

26
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:58,113
We went out to the back garden

27
00:03:58,614 --> 00:04:02,159
and the sun was setting,
so everything seemed golden.

28
00:04:02,826 --> 00:04:04,161
And then it opened...

29
00:04:06,288 --> 00:04:07,957
I opened the violin case,

30
00:04:08,666 --> 00:04:10,376
he took out his violin

31
00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:13,671
and while he looked at me
With great intensity, he said:

32
00:04:15,381 --> 00:04:17,007
"I want to show you something."

33
00:04:18,175 --> 00:04:23,305
He placed the violin like this,
he supported himself well and began...

34
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:32,731
Suddenly, a little bird appeared,
He leaned on a branch and sang...

35
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:41,240
And I was stunned:
"God, Dad talks to the birds."

36
00:04:47,037 --> 00:04:48,122
And the bird...

37
00:04:49,832 --> 00:04:51,500
And I: "Oh, God."

38
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:52,751
And my father: "Do you see it?

39
00:04:59,883 --> 00:05:04,847
If you can talk to birds,
you will speak to the hearts of the people."

40
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:12,604
Cindy Cin.

41
00:05:14,398 --> 00:05:15,399
Look.

42
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:17,985
CINDY BLACKMAN SANTANA
CHARLES' WOMAN

43
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,071
What a difference from Tijuana, right?

44
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:24,908
Precious.

45
00:05:28,871 --> 00:05:30,330
Anytime, darling.

46
00:05:32,041 --> 00:05:34,585
SISTERS OF CHARLES

47
00:05:35,169 --> 00:05:36,420
I've gotten myself into trouble.

48
00:05:37,421 --> 00:05:39,548
-Yeah.
-It was wonderful.

49
00:05:39,631 --> 00:05:44,053
It seemed very natural to us.
that music always played at home...

50
00:05:45,304 --> 00:05:47,139
-Always.
-We danced non-stop,

51
00:05:47,222 --> 00:05:50,517
because mom wouldn't let us go out,
so we had parties.

52
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:52,936
Even vacuuming.

53
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,108
When it wasn't a rope
of guitar coming out of that machine,

54
00:05:58,192 --> 00:06:00,152
They were the strings of Dad's violin.

55
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:02,654
And we said, "How do we cut it?"

56
00:06:02,738 --> 00:06:04,031
-We were happy.
-Yeah.

57
00:06:04,114 --> 00:06:08,035
Every Friday and Saturday night,
we started to play.

58
00:06:19,338 --> 00:06:21,298
We lived in Colonia Libertad.

59
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:25,052
My mother was going about her business.

60
00:06:25,844 --> 00:06:28,931
It was hard. It was very hard.

61
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:32,017
So I said to my mother, "Mom."

62
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:33,393
And she answers:

63
00:06:35,104 --> 00:06:38,440
"Someday I will buy you a house,

64
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:42,736
with refrigerator, dishwasher,

65
00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:45,489
washer and dryer".

66
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:50,410
And she told me: "That's great, my son."

67
00:06:50,494 --> 00:06:53,455
And I: "Hey, don't ignore me like that,
I'm going to fulfill it."

68
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:08,971
My mother had a divine determination,
which was something worth seeing.

69
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:15,144
The way I visualized something
and I was going for it

70
00:07:15,227 --> 00:07:19,439
It was like I saw my mother
grab God by his robe

71
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:23,235
and stop it dead, as if saying:
"You're going to give it to me.

72
00:07:23,318 --> 00:07:25,320
I know perfectly well that you will give it to me.

73
00:07:26,738 --> 00:07:27,865
So give it to me now."

74
00:07:35,539 --> 00:07:38,709
Future attraction. I learned that from her.

75
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:42,379
You see something, and you chase it.

76
00:07:43,922 --> 00:07:50,512
My mother would say: "My life is my children,
cook and José".

77
00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:55,642
Women were dying for my father.

78
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:01,565
He had charisma and charm.

79
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:06,069
Look at those hands.

80
00:08:06,778 --> 00:08:08,614
How soft.

81
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:11,200
He had the softest hands.

82
00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:14,661
My father played mostly classics.

83
00:08:15,245 --> 00:08:17,247
The music of Agustín Lara,

84
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:19,833
who looks a lot like Cole Porter.

85
00:08:22,044 --> 00:08:24,588
And I knew I wanted to be like my father.

86
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:26,840
I just wanted to play.

87
00:08:37,601 --> 00:08:38,602
And he left.

88
00:08:44,566 --> 00:08:46,485
Everyone said:
"Josefina, you're crazy.

89
00:08:46,568 --> 00:08:48,362
"He's not coming back to you."

90
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:51,740
And she said: "If he doesn't come back,
Let me say it in front of my children.

91
00:08:51,823 --> 00:08:55,452
I want to look him in the eyes
when he tells us he doesn't love us."

92
00:08:55,953 --> 00:08:57,704
What an arrest he had.

93
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:08,548
Four sisters, two brothers
and the dog straight to Tijuana.

94
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:11,760
It took us a long time to arrive,

95
00:09:11,843 --> 00:09:14,304
because there were no paved roads.

96
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:16,181
We slept in the desert.

97
00:09:16,682 --> 00:09:18,308
The food was horrible.

98
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:21,770
The beans we ate
at the stops they were stale

99
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:25,148
and people got sick,
but my mother was not daunted.

100
00:09:25,941 --> 00:09:27,150
WELCOME TO TIJUANA

101
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:31,405
Upon reaching where my father was staying,
A woman opened the door for us.

102
00:09:31,488 --> 00:09:33,282
It was obvious that she was a prostitute.

103
00:09:34,992 --> 00:09:36,326
He stuck his head out

104
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:40,372
and he saw me
before the other brothers,

105
00:09:40,455 --> 00:09:45,669
and he looked at me with anger,
shame and also fear.

106
00:09:47,045 --> 00:09:50,465
My father had to leave
to that woman and return to us.

107
00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:54,469
It was something I couldn't understand,

108
00:09:54,970 --> 00:09:57,264
because you love your father and your mother.

109
00:09:57,347 --> 00:09:59,808
The only thing I knew was that they were fighting.

110
00:09:59,891 --> 00:10:03,562
Then my father came back
around four in the morning

111
00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:07,107
with a group of musicians
and he serenaded my mother.

112
00:10:13,238 --> 00:10:18,243
Mom and dad reduced that distance
little by little and then things got better.

113
00:10:24,082 --> 00:10:27,961
Tijuana. How was life?
Was it hard growing up there?

114
00:10:28,045 --> 00:10:31,131
I think the only part
of Tijuana that I have seen

115
00:10:31,214 --> 00:10:33,550
It's when you cross the border
southern California

116
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:35,135
and you come back immediately.

117
00:10:35,218 --> 00:10:37,971
But that's a whole world, right?

118
00:10:38,055 --> 00:10:41,224
Yes, just like New York.
Don't go with the first impression.

119
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:44,436
Clear. And now, what plans do you have?

120
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:48,565
I just wanted...

121
00:10:51,860 --> 00:10:53,945
Tijuana is like the Star Wars cantina.

122
00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:58,325
People who live in Tijuana
It comes from different galaxies.

123
00:11:04,206 --> 00:11:07,959
Especially where I grew up,
in Colonia Libertad and La Coahuila.

124
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:09,795
It smells a little strange.

125
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:11,922
The ghetto of ghettos.

126
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,053
When my father arrived in Tijuana,
almost everything was mariachis,

127
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:20,722
because it was the music
what American tourists wanted to hear.

128
00:11:21,431 --> 00:11:23,558
That's why he became a mariachi performer.

129
00:11:30,607 --> 00:11:31,733
We had nothing.

130
00:11:31,817 --> 00:11:33,985
My mother had to earn it
playing the violin,

131
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:35,737
so I accompanied him.

132
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:42,702
At first, it was a mechanical issue.

133
00:11:42,786 --> 00:11:46,706
My father taught me to read
and perform mariachi music.

134
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:54,923
Mariachi is a mix of classics,
country and western and Mexican tradition.

135
00:11:57,551 --> 00:11:59,261
Dad was not a good teacher.

136
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:03,306
He was very strict.
"No. I'm telling you it's not like that."

137
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:05,684
"I'm going to have a heart attack."

138
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:09,646
So the history of the violin
It didn't quite fit me.

139
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:12,691
It wasn't the violin's question, but mine.

140
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:19,281
I think that music
It was too simple for him.

141
00:12:19,781 --> 00:12:21,950
It always ended the same: dun-dun.

142
00:12:22,534 --> 00:12:23,743
Sorry.

143
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:30,709
I followed my mother
to Tijuana park

144
00:12:31,293 --> 00:12:35,839
and there the band played
by Javier Bátiz and the TJ.

145
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:38,300
And...

146
00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:42,512
I had a guitar plugged in.
to an amplifier,

147
00:12:42,596 --> 00:12:44,347
so when you played that note...

148
00:12:52,355 --> 00:12:57,944
It resonated in a way...
who seemed to have seen a UFO.

149
00:13:02,324 --> 00:13:03,825
I got that tone.

150
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:05,994
What a sound.

151
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:08,580
I was mesmerized.

152
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,169
At that moment I knew
What I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

153
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:16,963
That's how I am.

154
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:56,586
I followed Javier Bátiz
like a little dog two or three years old.

155
00:13:57,254 --> 00:13:59,256
And what a record collection.

156
00:13:59,965 --> 00:14:06,596
I had B.B. King records,
Ray Charles and Little Richard.

157
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:09,474
He was a mix of all three.

158
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:16,231
He was a kind of first idol.

159
00:14:18,608 --> 00:14:21,736
My catalog expanded.

160
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:26,241
There was some John Lee Hooker,
Jimmy Reed, Lightnin' Hopkins,

161
00:14:26,324 --> 00:14:30,745
and a lot of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley.

162
00:14:31,246 --> 00:14:34,499
Later I discovered Wolf and Melon...

163
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:41,715
It was the first time
who listened to "tropical music."

164
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:46,886
It was the music of Cuba,
Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands.

165
00:14:48,513 --> 00:14:50,599
We lived in La Coahuila,
the poorest neighborhood

166
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:52,976
and I played the violin with my father.

167
00:14:53,852 --> 00:14:56,396
I said, "Dad, I don't want to play this music."

168
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:59,774
My father looked at me as if to say:
"Do you prefer that pachuca shit?"

169
00:15:00,275 --> 00:15:03,653
He was referring to blues and rock and roll.

170
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:06,990
And I answered: "Can it be that bad?
Look where we are.

171
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:11,411
There is no floor. It's all land.
Plus, it smells terrible.

172
00:15:11,494 --> 00:15:14,372
Look where we are.
How bad can this music be?

173
00:15:14,456 --> 00:15:17,125
And my father answered: "Arrea."

174
00:15:18,918 --> 00:15:20,712
And he said, "Go ahead."

175
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:23,465
And I...

176
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:27,427
Because he had triumphed, you understand?

177
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:30,805
I wanted to surpass the best
who had passed through Tijuana.

178
00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:33,808
I wanted to be better
than the best in San Francisco

179
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:35,644
and the best in London.

180
00:15:35,727 --> 00:15:37,062
I wasn't interested in the typical...

181
00:15:43,068 --> 00:15:44,069
Enough.

182
00:15:45,528 --> 00:15:48,031
I am not a victim.
I'm not touching that shit.

183
00:15:59,209 --> 00:16:00,502
Once I crossed the border

184
00:16:00,585 --> 00:16:05,965
because I had heard that a store
He displayed guitars in the window.

185
00:16:06,049 --> 00:16:08,927
I wanted to see the guitars and feel them.

186
00:16:09,844 --> 00:16:11,262
I wanted to smell them.

187
00:16:13,014 --> 00:16:17,185
Suddenly, I hear a shout: "Hey!"

188
00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:19,688
I don't even turn around,
because I don't think he's going with me.

189
00:16:19,771 --> 00:16:22,524
I'm just a Mexican kid. "Hey!".

190
00:16:22,607 --> 00:16:25,902
I turn around and there were three sailors.

191
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:28,655
Three white sailors saying:

192
00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:32,617
"Hey, Pancho Villa,
bean-eating son of a bitch."

193
00:16:34,911 --> 00:16:38,915
and I was wondering
Who would they be talking to?

194
00:16:39,874 --> 00:16:42,460
I know you don't talk to me,
because he doesn't even know me.

195
00:16:43,044 --> 00:16:49,050
It was the first time I felt
the sting of racism and ignorance.

196
00:16:49,634 --> 00:16:53,346
"Pancho Villa, bean-eating son of a bitch."

197
00:16:54,848 --> 00:16:55,974
And I stayed...

198
00:16:58,768 --> 00:17:00,145
"What a bad host."

199
00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:15,660
My father came to San Francisco

200
00:17:15,744 --> 00:17:18,580
with one of the first bands
of mariachis from the Bay.

201
00:17:19,289 --> 00:17:21,750
He started making money
and send more home,

202
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:23,918
So, in the end, we came.

203
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:28,465
I started washing dishes at Tic Tock's

204
00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:30,175
and then making tortillas.

205
00:17:30,675 --> 00:17:34,262
The best thing about Tic Tock's was the jukebox.

206
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:42,854
Thanks to the jukebox,
I managed to keep my sanity.

207
00:17:49,861 --> 00:17:51,446
San Francisco was like...

208
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:57,911
see how the garden opened
of music in slow motion.

209
00:18:03,041 --> 00:18:06,920
For me it was something similar
to a vortex of news.

210
00:18:12,884 --> 00:18:14,928
I didn't go out there much either.

211
00:18:15,011 --> 00:18:19,724
I was always rehearsing
with his friends.

212
00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:23,937
Carlos was focused on his music.

213
00:18:25,647 --> 00:18:27,565
-Are you starting?
-No, you.

214
00:18:27,649 --> 00:18:32,237
1966 ESSAY, AGE 19
FIRST KNOWN RECORDING

215
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,321
Ready?

216
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:55,176
Stan Markham and Ron Estrada,

217
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:58,429
they both found me
while playing in the street.

218
00:18:58,513 --> 00:19:00,014
He was still at Mission High School.

219
00:19:00,682 --> 00:19:03,643
They told me bluntly:
"Look, we believe in you.

220
00:19:03,726 --> 00:19:06,104
We've seen you play a couple of times.

221
00:19:06,187 --> 00:19:09,816
I will open the hair salon
and he will cease to be a guarantor.

222
00:19:09,899 --> 00:19:14,112
Let's quit our jobs
to be full-time representatives.

223
00:19:14,195 --> 00:19:17,490
Surely we sell Mary,
because we don't have money."

224
00:19:20,076 --> 00:19:22,579
And they added:
"We want to take you somewhere."

225
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:25,790
"Where are we going?"
"It's called Fillmore."

226
00:19:25,874 --> 00:19:28,501
BILL GRAHAM'S
FILLMORE WEST

227
00:19:28,585 --> 00:19:31,254
"What is there?"
"You'll see."

228
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:37,886
On the train, cocaine stands.

229
00:19:38,761 --> 00:19:42,140
Casey Jones, you better
moderate speed.

230
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:45,393
The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver...

231
00:19:46,895 --> 00:19:49,355
Country Joe and Great Society,
or something similar.

232
00:19:49,439 --> 00:19:53,401
You know that idea
It has crossed my mind.

233
00:19:53,484 --> 00:19:56,321
I remember those lights,
with all those colors.

234
00:19:56,404 --> 00:19:59,782
Not to mention the smell of mary and patchouli.

235
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:02,452
I saw all that and...
Because I'm still teetotal.

236
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:05,163
I have been surrounded by Mary since I was a child,

237
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:06,623
but I have never smoked.

238
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:09,000
And he repeated to Ron and Stan:

239
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:13,171
"You're trying to form a band
and I see that they smoke marijuana.

240
00:20:13,254 --> 00:20:14,297
I don't smoke.

241
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:18,968
Every time they smoke weed,
The same song doesn't come out.

242
00:20:19,052 --> 00:20:22,221
They play it differently,
because they forget things.

243
00:20:22,305 --> 00:20:24,098
I wish they didn't smoke marijuana

244
00:20:24,182 --> 00:20:28,478
so they could learn the song
and play it properly."

245
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:30,730
And they looked at me saying: "Arrea."

246
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:36,069
Then they rolled a joint this big
and they left it there.

247
00:20:36,152 --> 00:20:40,073
"We're going to eat.
"We'll be back right now." And they left.

248
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:41,908
The joint did like this...

249
00:20:42,992 --> 00:20:44,452
And I: "No."

250
00:20:45,036 --> 00:20:46,829
But in the end: "Well, okay."

251
00:20:57,298 --> 00:21:00,468
My next visit to the Fillmore
It was very different.

252
00:21:20,989 --> 00:21:23,324
It's like going to Disneyland for the first time.

253
00:21:23,408 --> 00:21:25,785
and get on the roller coaster.

254
00:21:32,125 --> 00:21:34,043
Too bad you need to sleep,

255
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:36,754
because I would stay awake
listening to all this.

256
00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:45,388
The Fillmore was my first alma mater.

257
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:48,016
I spent more time there
than at Mission High School.

258
00:21:48,099 --> 00:21:52,103
Like in college,
I learned several subjects.

259
00:22:05,366 --> 00:22:07,618
MISSION INSTITUTE

260
00:22:07,702 --> 00:22:10,538
The last day of school,
my friends told me:

261
00:22:10,621 --> 00:22:12,790
"Hey, what are you going to do, Carlos?"

262
00:22:12,874 --> 00:22:14,417
And I: "What will you do?"

263
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:16,461
"Enlist in the navy."

264
00:22:16,544 --> 00:22:17,920
"And what are you going to do?"

265
00:22:18,004 --> 00:22:20,214
"Working with my father in the warehouse."

266
00:22:20,298 --> 00:22:22,675
"And what are you going to do?
Carlos, what do you have in mind?"

267
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:23,760
And I answered:

268
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:28,890
"Get on stage
and playing with B.B. King and Eric Clapton."

269
00:22:28,973 --> 00:22:30,808
They laughed out loud.

270
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:41,319
I didn't want to abandon mom and dad,

271
00:22:42,111 --> 00:22:44,572
because I knew they needed it
financial aid.

272
00:22:46,824 --> 00:22:50,244
But I thought:
"They will have to explore other avenues."

273
00:22:54,165 --> 00:22:55,792
I had committed myself.

274
00:22:57,126 --> 00:22:59,754
You have to be a full-time musician.

275
00:23:00,421 --> 00:23:03,174
To achieve this, you must leave your home

276
00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:06,010
without asking permission,
because they are not going to give it to you.

277
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:13,768
Something must stimulate your imagination,

278
00:23:13,851 --> 00:23:16,521
your determination and your conviction.

279
00:23:18,898 --> 00:23:22,110
Your reality is too limited.

280
00:23:22,193 --> 00:23:23,903
I don't want to live reality.

281
00:23:23,986 --> 00:23:25,947
I prefer to daydream.

282
00:23:28,866 --> 00:23:30,618
A perpetual daydream.

283
00:23:38,376 --> 00:23:39,836
I was in the office at night

284
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:42,505
and I heard a noise on the wall,
near the windows.

285
00:23:42,588 --> 00:23:43,756
FOUNDER, THE FILLMORE

286
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,758
I approached and there were two men

287
00:23:45,842 --> 00:23:48,761
climbing the building's pipes.

288
00:23:48,845 --> 00:23:49,846
How old were they?

289
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,931
I estimate that some...

290
00:23:52,014 --> 00:23:55,143
nineteen or twenty years old, more or less.

291
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:58,938
I didn't ask them to come in,
rather I dragged them.

292
00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:00,356
They were trying to sneak in...

293
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:02,984
Yes, and I asked them the typical thing:

294
00:24:03,067 --> 00:24:06,404
"Why do you want to enter?"
Stupid, really.

295
00:24:06,487 --> 00:24:11,742
And they responded something like:
"We don't have anything to eat and..."

296
00:24:11,826 --> 00:24:13,953
One said he liked Butterfield,

297
00:24:14,036 --> 00:24:16,330
that Cream was going to play with Eric Clapton

298
00:24:16,414 --> 00:24:18,207
and he had a harmonica in his pocket.

299
00:24:18,291 --> 00:24:21,961
"I play the harmonica and the guitar,
But we don't have money."

300
00:24:23,004 --> 00:24:26,048
The tone was very friendly.

301
00:24:26,591 --> 00:24:29,427
He didn't seem like the type to sneak in,
even if I had money.

302
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:32,096
Some, with 1000 dollars in their pocket,

303
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:34,640
They would still sneak in just for the experience.

304
00:24:34,724 --> 00:24:37,018
-Carlos was not one of those.
-Carlos no.

305
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:39,395
I wasn't then
and I don't think it ever will be.

306
00:24:41,522 --> 00:24:43,316
Michael Bloomfield's guitarist

307
00:24:43,399 --> 00:24:44,901
I was playing the keyboard.

308
00:24:45,902 --> 00:24:50,573
Stanley goes and says, “Excuse me.
A skinny Mexican just walked in.

309
00:24:50,656 --> 00:24:53,159
He plays the guitar very well.
Do you let him play?"

310
00:24:53,743 --> 00:24:56,996
He looked at me and said, “Of course.
Come on, come on, kid.

311
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:00,541
All yours. There you have the guitar."

312
00:25:00,625 --> 00:25:02,001
And I jumped up.

313
00:25:03,252 --> 00:25:06,839
At the end, Billy Graham approaches and says:

314
00:25:07,965 --> 00:25:11,052
"You did very well, kid.
Are you in a band?"

315
00:25:11,135 --> 00:25:14,305
"Yeah". "And what is his name?"
I replied, "We don't have a name yet."

316
00:25:14,388 --> 00:25:18,476
And he goes and says: "Perfect.
I'm going to hire you and your band

317
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,645
to be opening act for The Who.

318
00:25:21,187 --> 00:25:25,608
You will also be opening acts
by Steve Miller and Howlin' Wolf."

319
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:29,445
And I: "Wow, that's great."

320
00:25:41,749 --> 00:25:46,921
Bill Graham was a mix
among the real hippies

321
00:25:47,004 --> 00:25:48,339
and Dick Clark.

322
00:25:48,422 --> 00:25:51,842
That was Bill Graham.
An artistic conservator.

323
00:25:51,926 --> 00:25:55,304
Someone who finds a painting
what do you like on the street

324
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:58,683
and hangs it in the Louvre
or in the Museum of Fine Arts.

325
00:26:01,686 --> 00:26:06,148
Every time a band canceled
at the Fillmore West, he called us.

326
00:26:07,024 --> 00:26:12,280
Santana was the only group
who performed at the Fillmore

327
00:26:12,363 --> 00:26:15,032
without having recorded an album
nor have a contract.

328
00:26:16,951 --> 00:26:18,369
BUTTERFIELD
FILLMORE WEST

329
00:26:21,622 --> 00:26:24,125
It appeared in the pink section
of the Sundays,

330
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:26,085
the section for new bands.

331
00:26:26,168 --> 00:26:29,714
In San Francisco there were 20 groups
and we were the leaders.

332
00:26:29,797 --> 00:26:35,052
They commented: "This is the group
destined to go further".

333
00:26:41,475 --> 00:26:44,979
-Who do you like?
-Santana Blues Band. I love them.

334
00:26:46,897 --> 00:26:49,317
Bill Graham was the one who saw it.

335
00:26:50,484 --> 00:26:52,945
It talks about having vision
and think big.

336
00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:56,240
He always said that he liked the group,
but he loved me.

337
00:26:57,491 --> 00:26:58,868
He was the one who declared:

338
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:02,496
"You are the perfect combination
between B. B. King and Tito Puente,

339
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:03,998
and that's the music I like."

340
00:27:06,834 --> 00:27:08,919
"Santana is my son."

341
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:11,339
And that's how he adopted us.

342
00:27:12,757 --> 00:27:17,928
Irma came home one day screaming:
"Mom, I just saw a bus go by

343
00:27:18,012 --> 00:27:22,892
that Santana Blues was playing",
or something similar. At best...

344
00:27:23,851 --> 00:27:26,270
"Where will he be?
I wonder where he's at."

345
00:27:26,354 --> 00:27:29,815
So, little by little,
We started hearing about him.

346
00:27:30,816 --> 00:27:34,070
Every time we went
to see him play at the Fillmore West,

347
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:36,614
First we queued one block,

348
00:27:36,697 --> 00:27:40,618
then three apples,
and then he turned completely around.

349
00:27:40,701 --> 00:27:43,954
"What's going on here?
"You have to queue to see him play."

350
00:27:49,794 --> 00:27:52,546
I don't even know how,
But mom and dad came to the Fillmore,

351
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,256
and it was something unthinkable.

352
00:27:54,965 --> 00:27:59,136
It was our turn between Chicago, Janis Joplin
and Big Brother and the Holding Company.

353
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:04,058
My father wore a tie,
shirt, jacket and hat.

354
00:28:04,558 --> 00:28:07,645
My mother, nylon stockings,
in the middle of Fillmore.

355
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:11,190
"There's no room left, mom.
"You have to sit on the floor."

356
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:13,150
We sat on the floor, waiting.

357
00:28:13,776 --> 00:28:15,736
In front there were some hippies

358
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:18,114
passing a joint.

359
00:28:18,906 --> 00:28:22,076
My mother and father smoked,
so my mother goes and says:

360
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:27,706
"Look, they can't afford cigarettes.
They pass a tiny one."

361
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:33,379
Then my father opens his cigarette case
and offers cigarettes to everyone.

362
00:28:35,381 --> 00:28:38,509
"No, mom, it's marijuana."
"Oh, okay."

363
00:28:41,011 --> 00:28:42,012
Thank you.

364
00:28:56,277 --> 00:28:59,780
Do you remember the moon landing?
that day July 20?

365
00:29:00,281 --> 00:29:01,866
On TV they didn't talk about anything else

366
00:29:01,949 --> 00:29:04,034
and I saw that my mother was crying.

367
00:29:04,118 --> 00:29:07,246
I asked him: "Are you crying
Why is there a man on the Moon?"

368
00:29:08,205 --> 00:29:11,625
"No, I cry because today
It's Carlos's birthday."

369
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:13,878
"Oh, okay."

370
00:29:13,961 --> 00:29:18,924
As a mother, you focus on your children,

371
00:29:19,008 --> 00:29:22,094
but we believed
which was because of the moon landing.

372
00:29:22,178 --> 00:29:26,140
We were so used to it
to be in his world

373
00:29:26,223 --> 00:29:30,853
that didn't seem strange to us
that dad worked all the time.

374
00:29:31,479 --> 00:29:37,651
But we had never thought
that mom missed her son.

375
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:41,113
I knew my mother was suffering

376
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:44,992
not knowing where or who he was with,
or what he did.

377
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:47,536
But I had to do it.

378
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,623
I had to give birth to Santana
and dedicate myself to my thing.

379
00:29:50,706 --> 00:29:54,793
Go out into the street and go for it.

380
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:26,075
I'm going to introduce you to a gentleman

381
00:30:26,158 --> 00:30:28,327
very relevant in the musical world.

382
00:30:28,911 --> 00:30:29,954
With Columbia Records,

383
00:30:30,037 --> 00:30:33,374
has had a lot to do with
on the popularity of Janis Joplin,

384
00:30:33,457 --> 00:30:34,792
Blood, Sweat and Tears.

385
00:30:35,292 --> 00:30:36,961
Mr. Clive Davis.

386
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:40,339
The first quality you look for
It is originality.

387
00:30:41,257 --> 00:30:43,217
People who set trends

388
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:47,179
and maybe it will lead to society,
little by little, one step further,

389
00:30:47,263 --> 00:30:50,349
because the music has played
a very relevant role

390
00:30:50,432 --> 00:30:53,936
in the evolution of thought
of the last 20 years.

391
00:30:56,438 --> 00:30:58,107
I heard that, in 1969,

392
00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:01,569
you messed up on purpose
an audition with Atlantic Records.

393
00:31:01,652 --> 00:31:05,072
-TRUE.
-Because you wanted to work for Columbia.

394
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:05,990
With Columbia.

395
00:31:06,073 --> 00:31:09,577
With Columbia, home of Miles Davis
and Bob Dylan. It's true?

396
00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:11,120
Absolutely true.

397
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:14,582
Didn't it make you a little nervous
ruin an audition on purpose?

398
00:31:14,665 --> 00:31:17,918
No, because, like Nirvana and Metallica,

399
00:31:18,002 --> 00:31:20,796
when you trust in what you do,

400
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:22,047
They look for you.

401
00:31:25,801 --> 00:31:28,721
That freshness, that intensity,

402
00:31:28,804 --> 00:31:33,017
They made it easy for me to decide at the moment:
"This is for me, for Columbia."

403
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:35,436
So I signed with Santana.

404
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,737
They called to tell us
that Bill Graham wanted to see us.

405
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:47,531
He told us: "There is going to be a festival."

406
00:31:47,615 --> 00:31:50,034
It will be the festival of festivals.

407
00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:54,955
Our album wasn't out yet.
We had just recorded it.

408
00:31:56,874 --> 00:31:59,710
And he added: "I have told them
that would only help them

409
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:01,754
if you performed at the festival.

410
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:06,675
I have organized it
so you can go to the Phoenix festival,

411
00:32:07,259 --> 00:32:11,639
then to the Dallas festival
and then to Atlantic City.

412
00:32:11,722 --> 00:32:15,517
You will go from 2000 to 5000,

413
00:32:15,601 --> 00:32:19,730
then from 15,000 to 30,000,
and from 60,000 to 90,000.

414
00:32:19,813 --> 00:32:21,273
In the end, you will perform at Woodstock.

415
00:32:22,858 --> 00:32:25,819
This is how you get used to the general public."

416
00:32:25,903 --> 00:32:29,114
In fact, he trained us like boxers.

417
00:32:30,532 --> 00:32:33,369
Then he added: "I want you to know
that after this festival

418
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:35,704
You will never be the same again.

419
00:32:36,747 --> 00:32:39,500
Go home, look in the mirror
and you will see a person,

420
00:32:39,583 --> 00:32:42,670
but after Woodstock,
That individual will no longer exist."

421
00:32:49,385 --> 00:32:51,345
It all started in the helicopter.

422
00:32:58,936 --> 00:33:01,480
I looked at the panorama and heard...

423
00:33:01,563 --> 00:33:04,650
Then I got out and saw that they were Bill

424
00:33:04,733 --> 00:33:07,277
and also Jerry Garcia.

425
00:33:07,361 --> 00:33:09,571
And I thought, “Wow, what a relief.

426
00:33:09,655 --> 00:33:11,573
Jerry Garcia has come. "Great."

427
00:33:12,074 --> 00:33:14,076
"Hi how are things?".
"Hello how are you?".

428
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:16,078
"What time are you going to play?"

429
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:19,998
And he tells me: "I think we went out
two groups after you."

430
00:33:20,082 --> 00:33:23,293
"You better get comfortable.

431
00:33:23,377 --> 00:33:26,672
It seems to me that it is not our turn
until after midnight.

432
00:33:26,755 --> 00:33:28,340
Make yourself comfortable."

433
00:33:28,424 --> 00:33:32,511
And there I was in that ocean.
A multitude of meat.

434
00:33:37,057 --> 00:33:39,643
And Jerry Garcia commented: "By the way..."

435
00:33:41,979 --> 00:33:43,313
And I thought, "Wow."

436
00:33:44,189 --> 00:33:47,985
I did the math: "If it's at two
or three in the morning...

437
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:51,488
and now it's noon...

438
00:33:51,572 --> 00:33:55,409
Yes, I think there will be six,
seven or eight times...

439
00:33:55,492 --> 00:34:00,998
I'll need a little margin
to go through what I need to go through

440
00:34:01,081 --> 00:34:04,334
and then when it lands,
I will be in the best moment."

441
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:07,755
Once you pass the amoeba state.

442
00:34:10,591 --> 00:34:15,179
So I took it
and then I heard someone say...

443
00:34:15,262 --> 00:34:17,598
Let's welcome Santana.

444
00:34:19,892 --> 00:34:21,059
And I thought...

445
00:34:25,981 --> 00:34:27,065
"How?"

446
00:34:32,654 --> 00:34:37,618
I noticed something inside my chest.
"Mijo, trust."

447
00:34:42,039 --> 00:34:48,921
"God, I know you're there.
Please keep up the pace and tune up."

448
00:35:01,058 --> 00:35:02,392
Don't let it stop!

449
00:35:04,311 --> 00:35:08,565
Everything seemed from another dimension.

450
00:35:53,986 --> 00:35:58,699
The neck of my guitar
It was like an electric snake.

451
00:35:58,782 --> 00:36:00,284
I didn't stop still.

452
00:36:01,618 --> 00:36:04,371
That's why he made such ugly faces...

453
00:36:06,081 --> 00:36:09,334
to try to avoid
that it would slip away so much from me.

454
00:36:14,798 --> 00:36:17,384
I kept saying, "No."

455
00:36:17,885 --> 00:36:20,721
The neck and the guitar moved like this

456
00:36:20,804 --> 00:36:22,472
and I told them: "No."

457
00:36:34,026 --> 00:36:36,612
I have never told anyone
because it was a snake.

458
00:36:37,154 --> 00:36:43,160
The snake represents doubt
and the fear of failing before...

459
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:46,163
It's like you screwed up
in front of all those people.

460
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:31,959
Ladies and gentlemen, Santana!

461
00:37:39,091 --> 00:37:40,342
Then I heard...

462
00:37:41,843 --> 00:37:45,806
Something like an echo, echo, echo...

463
00:37:46,556 --> 00:37:49,726
of that eternal moment.

464
00:37:59,277 --> 00:38:04,908
One week after Woodstock,
We released our first album.

465
00:38:14,001 --> 00:38:17,337
KEEPS SANTANA IN VILO
TO THE ROCK PUBLIC

466
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:22,217
Straight from San Francisco,

467
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:25,929
the rock group whose album rises
unstoppable on the music charts.

468
00:38:26,013 --> 00:38:27,431
Santana!

469
00:38:28,223 --> 00:38:33,186
There's something about you, darling,
that prevents me from looking for another.

470
00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:35,605
My God, that October 26th.

471
00:38:36,732 --> 00:38:38,191
The Ed Sullivan Show...

472
00:38:38,817 --> 00:38:40,360
We stayed for a long time.

473
00:38:41,486 --> 00:38:43,405
I said, "Mom, do you remember
when I was a child,

474
00:38:43,488 --> 00:38:45,282
and I wanted to appear on this program,

475
00:38:45,365 --> 00:38:46,742
and we just nodded?"

476
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:51,538
It was like a laser
when something was proposed.

477
00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:53,373
Similar to mom.

478
00:38:53,457 --> 00:38:57,627
He focused like a laser
in what he wanted and he got it.

479
00:39:01,715 --> 00:39:04,342
Carlos Santana, how did your group start?

480
00:39:04,426 --> 00:39:06,928
And how did you get into the musical world?

481
00:39:12,392 --> 00:39:13,810
Answer, man.

482
00:39:18,273 --> 00:39:21,777
TANGLEWOOD MUSIC FESTIVAL, 1970
LENOX, MASSACHUSETTS

483
00:39:23,403 --> 00:39:27,282
As soon as the music starts playing,
you feel how people change.

484
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:31,578
Their mood, how they talk
and all its surroundings.

485
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:37,876
They become more natural.

486
00:39:37,959 --> 00:39:42,839
People are more like themselves,
and not as they are programmed.

487
00:39:47,761 --> 00:39:50,430
Do you feel like the leader of a rock group?

488
00:39:50,514 --> 00:39:53,850
No, I'm not the leader of anything.

489
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:04,069
SANTANA CONTINUES ITS RISE
TO EXCELLENCE

490
00:40:17,374 --> 00:40:19,292
SANTANA
ABRAXAS

491
00:40:31,012 --> 00:40:34,224
The truth is that all that
It seemed like a roller coaster.

492
00:40:34,307 --> 00:40:36,184
We were so absorbed by the trip

493
00:40:36,268 --> 00:40:40,814
that we didn't realize
that we had reached the goal.

494
00:40:41,857 --> 00:40:43,942
Because it wasn't our goal, I guess.

495
00:40:44,025 --> 00:40:46,820
Our goal was to continue playing

496
00:40:47,571 --> 00:40:50,615
and opening for people
like Janis Joplin and Chicago,

497
00:40:50,699 --> 00:40:53,034
from all types of groups,
because we were their opening act

498
00:40:53,869 --> 00:40:56,705
and we knew perfectly
that we had our own style

499
00:40:56,788 --> 00:40:58,957
and that we did to the public
the same illusion.

500
00:41:19,728 --> 00:41:23,857
I didn't know what "jingo" was.
until about seven years ago,

501
00:41:23,940 --> 00:41:26,818
and I've been playing it since '67 or '66.

502
00:41:27,444 --> 00:41:28,820
"Jingo" means "go with God."

503
00:41:30,572 --> 00:41:32,949
Go with God.

504
00:41:33,533 --> 00:41:35,827
It's another way of saying "good luck."

505
00:42:00,936 --> 00:42:03,313
When I received the copyright

506
00:42:04,022 --> 00:42:06,358
from my first album and then from Abraxas,

507
00:42:06,441 --> 00:42:10,987
I brought the check and said:
"Mom, here's the check.

508
00:42:11,071 --> 00:42:14,991
Go buy your house,
your refrigerator and your dishwasher.

509
00:42:15,075 --> 00:42:18,662
When they saw him, they became
eyes like saucers.

510
00:42:18,745 --> 00:42:22,165
My sisters said:
"My goodness, Carlos..."

511
00:42:22,749 --> 00:42:26,920
That's better than the Grammys,
the Oscars and the Heisman trophy.

512
00:42:27,003 --> 00:42:28,838
It's better than anything.

513
00:42:28,922 --> 00:42:32,050
Be able to keep your promise,

514
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:36,263
give to your mother
what you had promised him...

515
00:42:38,515 --> 00:42:39,641
There is nothing better.

516
00:42:40,642 --> 00:42:44,688
Santana, for the world of rock and roll,

517
00:42:44,771 --> 00:42:51,736
It was the first Latin experience
for many people.

518
00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:54,447
Before me there was Ray Barretto,
Mongo Santamaría

519
00:42:54,531 --> 00:42:57,075
and the Temptations,
because they had Motown congas.

520
00:42:57,158 --> 00:42:57,993
Clear.

521
00:42:58,076 --> 00:43:01,663
But with our way of combining
the blues with percussion,

522
00:43:01,746 --> 00:43:04,416
we made it difficult
when it comes to labeling ourselves.

523
00:43:04,499 --> 00:43:06,793
-Already.
-They call it psychedelic mariachi rock.

524
00:43:07,294 --> 00:43:11,298
And I answer: "Give it another turn,
because it's not called that."

525
00:43:39,909 --> 00:43:45,248
From '69 to '71,
during that period of time,

526
00:43:45,332 --> 00:43:47,042
a real...

527
00:43:49,419 --> 00:43:50,754
tension.

528
00:44:00,430 --> 00:44:03,850
Nobody is prepared
to deal with that name and fame

529
00:44:03,933 --> 00:44:07,479
in such quantity and so quickly.

530
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,288
We didn't rehearse that much
as I would have liked to rehearse.

531
00:44:26,122 --> 00:44:28,917
They were much more interested
the world of drugs,

532
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,960
women and expensive cars.

533
00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:35,173
And I started to feel...

534
00:44:35,924 --> 00:44:37,842
I was jealous

535
00:44:37,926 --> 00:44:40,178
for people to invest their energies

536
00:44:40,261 --> 00:44:42,889
in something other than our music.

537
00:44:51,189 --> 00:44:53,983
We gave 312 concerts in one year.

538
00:44:55,318 --> 00:44:56,569
We hated each other.

539
00:44:56,653 --> 00:44:59,322
We couldn't stand each other.
We were exhausted from each other.

540
00:44:59,406 --> 00:45:00,782
We were bored with our clothes.

541
00:45:00,865 --> 00:45:03,993
We were bored with our hairstyles.
We had grown tired of each other.

542
00:45:04,994 --> 00:45:07,288
Taught me a lot about touring
and the concerts.

543
00:45:07,372 --> 00:45:09,165
Also about overindulgence.

544
00:45:14,504 --> 00:45:17,674
I don't know why,
but the people around us

545
00:45:17,757 --> 00:45:19,008
They were no longer artists.

546
00:45:19,092 --> 00:45:21,970
They were just guys,

547
00:45:22,053 --> 00:45:24,305
people who abused drugs.

548
00:45:24,389 --> 00:45:26,766
For that reason, at that time,

549
00:45:26,850 --> 00:45:29,018
we are part of that

550
00:45:29,102 --> 00:45:33,648
and the music took a backseat
while everything else was happening.

551
00:45:39,237 --> 00:45:42,532
some of us
We were able to keep it at bay,

552
00:45:42,615 --> 00:45:44,159
but others don't.

553
00:45:44,242 --> 00:45:46,453
In the end, after two or three years...

554
00:45:47,412 --> 00:45:48,538
the group had...

555
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:51,124
finished.

556
00:45:55,545 --> 00:45:56,754
They swept us away.

557
00:46:08,808 --> 00:46:11,519
When Jimi left,
We were in Salt Lake City.

558
00:46:13,396 --> 00:46:16,357
I swear you could hear it
how people flushed the toilet

559
00:46:16,441 --> 00:46:20,153
to get rid of cocaine and heroin.

560
00:46:23,448 --> 00:46:26,409
"It didn't work for him
and neither do I, so..."

561
00:46:32,624 --> 00:46:34,834
Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were dead.

562
00:46:34,918 --> 00:46:38,129
Janis Joplin was also dying.
Artists kept dying.

563
00:46:38,755 --> 00:46:41,925
In my case, two paths opened up.

564
00:46:42,008 --> 00:46:43,510
One was heroin...

565
00:46:44,928 --> 00:46:47,555
and the other spiritual meditation.

566
00:46:51,768 --> 00:46:53,019
CARLOS' EX-WIFE

567
00:46:53,102 --> 00:46:54,646
I remember his eyes.

568
00:46:56,147 --> 00:46:57,815
His eyes were...

569
00:46:57,899 --> 00:47:02,278
I just had to look at her to feel...

570
00:47:02,362 --> 00:47:04,948
It was something internal. It can't be described.

571
00:47:08,201 --> 00:47:09,702
What attracted me

572
00:47:09,786 --> 00:47:11,788
It was something from his heart,

573
00:47:11,871 --> 00:47:14,749
or rather something that flowed from his being.

574
00:47:16,334 --> 00:47:21,381
The sacred is not Jerusalem,
or the Vatican or Stonehenge.

575
00:47:22,215 --> 00:47:24,926
For us, family is sacred.

576
00:48:02,839 --> 00:48:06,259
Musically, the distance
that separates the third album

577
00:48:06,342 --> 00:48:09,053
Caravanserai is huge.

578
00:48:10,013 --> 00:48:13,975
It's enough for Clive Davis
with getting a single.

579
00:48:17,645 --> 00:48:21,190
In Caravanserai there was no
no trace of a single.

580
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,737
And he told me just like that:
"Carlos, I think you're making a mistake."

581
00:48:28,114 --> 00:48:31,784
I remember perfectly
that I lit a candle

582
00:48:31,868 --> 00:48:33,328
and he didn't even look at Clive.

583
00:48:33,411 --> 00:48:35,246
He kept looking at the candle.

584
00:48:36,539 --> 00:48:38,625
Then I added: "Clive, everything you say

585
00:48:38,708 --> 00:48:39,834
It is absolutely true.

586
00:48:40,877 --> 00:48:44,172
Yet I have chosen this path

587
00:48:44,255 --> 00:48:46,090
and I plan to reach the end."

588
00:49:17,372 --> 00:49:20,708
I wanted to do something more
than to play "Evil Ways"

589
00:49:20,792 --> 00:49:23,211
and "Black Magic Woman."

590
00:49:23,294 --> 00:49:27,674
I wanted to know if it was possible to merge
rock and roll and jazz.

591
00:49:27,757 --> 00:49:29,342
I think it was frustrating

592
00:49:29,425 --> 00:49:31,928
For some musicians in the group,

593
00:49:32,011 --> 00:49:36,641
because they wanted to preserve
Santana's soul aspect,

594
00:49:36,724 --> 00:49:39,686
and I don't think I went there.

595
00:49:51,072 --> 00:49:54,951
And I said, "I'm going to cut my hair."
and wear all white

596
00:49:55,034 --> 00:49:57,537
to try this other way."

597
00:50:00,289 --> 00:50:02,750
That's why I embraced a spiritual path

598
00:50:02,834 --> 00:50:08,715
and followed the teachings
by Sri Chinmoy from 72 to 82.

599
00:50:11,259 --> 00:50:14,095
Deborah and I gave ourselves totally.

600
00:50:15,138 --> 00:50:16,431
We were not pretending.

601
00:50:16,514 --> 00:50:19,183
We lived it 24 hours a day.

602
00:50:19,892 --> 00:50:23,730
At that time,
We called it "fragrance of the soul."

603
00:50:37,535 --> 00:50:40,705
To my disciples: feel the need

604
00:50:41,581 --> 00:50:45,918
of the living God within.

605
00:50:46,753 --> 00:50:51,966
This is how they themselves
they become gods.

606
00:50:55,928 --> 00:51:00,099
In short: no meat,
neither alcohol, nor marijuana, nor...

607
00:51:00,183 --> 00:51:03,478
That looked like The Misadventures of Beaver.

608
00:51:03,561 --> 00:51:06,189
A straight and boring life.

609
00:51:10,193 --> 00:51:11,486
My mother always said:

610
00:51:11,569 --> 00:51:14,113
"Sometimes it tests my faith.

611
00:51:15,782 --> 00:51:19,535
And it makes me think
about my way of thinking."

612
00:51:19,619 --> 00:51:21,412
The 11 years he spent with the guru

613
00:51:21,496 --> 00:51:24,665
They were totally amazing.

614
00:51:25,917 --> 00:51:28,127
You spend your life being Catholic

615
00:51:28,211 --> 00:51:31,047
and then your son looks for another creed...

616
00:51:31,881 --> 00:51:34,425
It was uncomfortable for her,

617
00:51:34,509 --> 00:51:37,094
because he said: "visit these religions."

618
00:51:38,346 --> 00:51:41,599
But it wasn't a religion
but a spiritual search...

619
00:51:41,682 --> 00:51:42,809
-Thank you.
-TRUE?

620
00:51:42,892 --> 00:51:44,060
Yes.

621
00:51:57,782 --> 00:52:02,954
PARIS PAVILION, 1976
PARIS, FRANCE

622
00:52:03,663 --> 00:52:07,083
People commented:
"Cosmic Carlos goes overboard with acid,

623
00:52:07,166 --> 00:52:10,878
takes too much LSD, mescaline,
ayuahuasca and peyote".

624
00:52:10,962 --> 00:52:13,631
And I answered:
"You haven't tried it

625
00:52:13,714 --> 00:52:14,924
and it shows a lot."

626
00:52:23,683 --> 00:52:26,269
It's not very far away.
You're in the deep end.

627
00:52:26,352 --> 00:52:28,855
Right in the thick of it, that's clear.

628
00:52:28,938 --> 00:52:30,314
be high

629
00:52:30,398 --> 00:52:33,609
implies that someone
is disconnected,

630
00:52:34,151 --> 00:52:36,946
but I am fully aware.

631
00:52:44,662 --> 00:52:47,039
At that point,
people tell me

632
00:52:47,123 --> 00:52:48,833
that I'm crazy or crazy.

633
00:52:51,127 --> 00:52:53,421
"You can't do that
because you are Mexican.

634
00:52:53,504 --> 00:52:54,839
Mexicans don't do that."

635
00:52:54,922 --> 00:52:57,425
They kept repeating it, and I said:

636
00:52:57,508 --> 00:53:00,636
"Maybe I'm a Mexican
multidimensional.

637
00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:05,349
Should be able to traverse
the cosmos of the imagination".

638
00:53:27,872 --> 00:53:29,665
In the core, or the bone...

639
00:53:31,125 --> 00:53:32,501
Even beyond the bone...

640
00:53:33,711 --> 00:53:37,131
there is the light, the spirit and the soul.

641
00:53:40,676 --> 00:53:43,471
I free myself from everything every morning
when I woke up.

642
00:53:43,554 --> 00:53:46,807
I take a shower and watch them leave
down the drain.

643
00:53:47,642 --> 00:53:50,353
Guilt, shame, judgments,
condemnations and remorse.

644
00:53:50,436 --> 00:53:55,274
The accusations and all that crap
They go down the drain.

645
00:53:55,358 --> 00:53:58,235
And I think, "That's not me."

646
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:06,535
Reality is only a perception.

647
00:54:10,665 --> 00:54:13,501
When you leave this planet,
you see eternity.

648
00:54:13,584 --> 00:54:14,794
You don't see the day and the night,

649
00:54:14,877 --> 00:54:17,755
because that depends
for the Earth to orbit.

650
00:54:21,717 --> 00:54:24,428
Once you reach a certain height...

651
00:54:25,846 --> 00:54:28,641
and you ask what time it is,
You respond “now.”

652
00:54:30,267 --> 00:54:32,186
Because it doesn't matter anymore.

653
00:54:38,734 --> 00:54:39,902
Tomorrow.

654
00:54:40,695 --> 00:54:41,737
Tomorrow.

655
00:54:42,530 --> 00:54:44,949
Tomorrow seems fine to me.

656
00:54:45,950 --> 00:54:48,202
The queue already surrounds the stadium.

657
00:54:48,285 --> 00:54:50,079
They are 20 blocks away.

658
00:54:50,162 --> 00:54:53,374
They hope that Santana
play songs on the guitar.

659
00:54:53,457 --> 00:54:55,584
But before getting on the bus,

660
00:54:55,668 --> 00:54:57,294
the storm started.

661
00:54:57,378 --> 00:55:01,382
Don't worry, we'll be back tomorrow
and everything will turn out very well.

662
00:55:01,465 --> 00:55:04,010
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

663
00:55:04,802 --> 00:55:07,304
Tomorrow seems fine to me.

664
00:55:08,639 --> 00:55:11,600
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

665
00:55:12,184 --> 00:55:15,146
Tomorrow seems fine to me.

666
00:55:16,063 --> 00:55:19,358
Please don't be upset,
because tomorrow will be good.

667
00:55:19,942 --> 00:55:21,402
The guitars will sound

668
00:55:21,485 --> 00:55:23,237
and the group will play great.

669
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,450
Santana is already here,
so don't go away.

670
00:55:27,533 --> 00:55:28,993
We will return tomorrow.

671
00:55:29,076 --> 00:55:31,037
Maybe you don't need to touch.

672
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:32,913
Tomorrow.

673
00:55:32,997 --> 00:55:36,917
someone told me
that there are 35 different versions

674
00:55:37,001 --> 00:55:38,961
from the Santana group.

675
00:55:39,045 --> 00:55:42,381
I had no idea. How is it possible?

676
00:55:49,096 --> 00:55:51,265
Three things are needed
to be in the band.

677
00:55:52,349 --> 00:55:56,562
Resistance, stability
and good disposition.

678
00:55:57,730 --> 00:55:59,065
If you are missing any,

679
00:55:59,148 --> 00:56:01,275
better not come,
because the road is hard.

680
00:56:05,279 --> 00:56:08,240
My style doesn't look alike
to the Rolling Stones or Grateful Dead,

681
00:56:08,324 --> 00:56:10,409
like an unbreakable family.

682
00:56:10,493 --> 00:56:13,079
I wish it had been like that,
but it was not my destiny,

683
00:56:13,162 --> 00:56:14,538
that's why it didn't happen.

684
00:56:15,289 --> 00:56:17,917
I know a black magician.

685
00:56:18,918 --> 00:56:21,295
I know a black magician.

686
00:56:22,546 --> 00:56:25,591
I know a black magician.

687
00:56:25,674 --> 00:56:30,471
It has blinded me in such a way
that I can't even see anymore.

688
00:56:30,554 --> 00:56:32,431
She is a black magician

689
00:56:32,515 --> 00:56:34,975
and tries to turn me into a devil.

690
00:56:43,984 --> 00:56:46,946
We played three weeks
or three and a half weeks at most.

691
00:56:47,029 --> 00:56:49,782
Then we go back home
a week or week and a half.

692
00:56:56,914 --> 00:56:58,958
Many groups go on tour for nine months

693
00:56:59,041 --> 00:57:01,001
and they will surely sell more records

694
00:57:01,085 --> 00:57:02,711
and achieve greater success,

695
00:57:02,795 --> 00:57:05,297
but then they break up and hate each other.

696
00:57:05,381 --> 00:57:08,259
I like people
the one I'm with now

697
00:57:08,926 --> 00:57:11,011
and I like to go little by little.

698
00:57:13,931 --> 00:57:15,599
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

699
00:57:15,683 --> 00:57:17,768
Ladies and gentlemen,
we know it's raining

700
00:57:17,852 --> 00:57:19,270
but stay in your seats.

701
00:57:19,353 --> 00:57:23,482
Santana will keep playing
as long as it does not pose a risk.

702
00:59:14,593 --> 00:59:17,012
Attention, due to rain
and the lightning,

703
00:59:17,096 --> 00:59:19,348
It's dangerous for Santana to continue.

704
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,558
Nothing else could have stopped them.

705
00:59:21,642 --> 00:59:22,851
Thank you for your patience

706
00:59:22,935 --> 00:59:25,479
and please go out carefully
of the amphitheater.

707
00:59:30,401 --> 00:59:32,778
Santana lives at home
recently purchased from San Rafael.

708
00:59:32,861 --> 00:59:36,115
Offers views of the bay
and it is here where he meditates

709
00:59:36,198 --> 00:59:38,492
and develop the characteristics
of his music.

710
00:59:50,921 --> 00:59:52,798
Santana is careful to preach,

711
00:59:52,881 --> 00:59:54,466
but he doesn't shy away from explaining

712
00:59:54,550 --> 00:59:56,719
what he and his wife Debbie
they want for their children:

713
00:59:56,802 --> 00:59:59,263
Salvador, five years old,
and Stella, three.

714
00:59:59,346 --> 01:00:05,519
We want to build a solid foundation
so that they trust their parents,

715
01:00:05,602 --> 01:00:08,605
so let's be friends,
first, and parents, later.

716
01:00:08,689 --> 01:00:11,817
That's the reason
that many families fall apart.

717
01:00:11,900 --> 01:00:15,738
The adulation, the Grammys,
platinum records,

718
01:00:15,821 --> 01:00:18,824
Wimbledon and the Super Bowl
They end quickly.

719
01:00:19,616 --> 01:00:20,826
The only lasting thing

720
01:00:20,909 --> 01:00:23,078
They are family values.

721
01:00:31,420 --> 01:00:32,838
I am not what I do.

722
01:00:32,921 --> 01:00:34,965
This is what I do,
but not what I am.

723
01:00:36,633 --> 01:00:40,429
To get married, be a husband and be a father

724
01:00:40,512 --> 01:00:42,222
There is no school that will teach you.

725
01:00:44,391 --> 01:00:46,393
When you buy a car...

726
01:00:46,477 --> 01:00:49,480
There is a manual in the trunk.

727
01:00:51,106 --> 01:00:52,941
Your children are your teachers.

728
01:00:57,488 --> 01:00:59,948
...to Salvador and Stella, because I love you.

729
01:01:00,032 --> 01:01:01,492
Are you all ready?

730
01:01:01,575 --> 01:01:03,327
Yeah!

731
01:01:15,214 --> 01:01:16,673
My father is a musician,

732
01:01:16,757 --> 01:01:19,134
just like his father
and his father's father.

733
01:01:20,177 --> 01:01:21,178
Sun.

734
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:22,846
Sun.

735
01:01:24,473 --> 01:01:25,933
No, no.

736
01:01:27,601 --> 01:01:30,020
Make the other one sound cleaner.

737
01:01:31,855 --> 01:01:33,774
It sounds like a squished cockroach.

738
01:01:35,651 --> 01:01:39,238
My family feels
like a fish in water.

739
01:01:39,321 --> 01:01:41,156
Music attracts us.

740
01:01:43,784 --> 01:01:48,664
PLAZA DE TOROS DEL MAR, 1992
TIJUANA, MEXICO

741
01:01:55,921 --> 01:01:57,840
We played in the bullring in Tijuana.

742
01:01:58,632 --> 01:02:00,884
It was something surreal
for my father to come,

743
01:02:00,968 --> 01:02:03,554
because he acted as an opening act with his musicians.

744
01:02:09,101 --> 01:02:11,603
I was interested in him more than anyone else.

745
01:02:29,788 --> 01:02:31,874
My father came up to me and said:

746
01:02:32,875 --> 01:02:33,876
"Tell me, dad."

747
01:02:33,959 --> 01:02:35,669
"Look...

748
01:02:35,752 --> 01:02:38,922
people know your music
all over the world."

749
01:02:39,006 --> 01:02:41,925
"Where are you going, dad?"

750
01:02:42,009 --> 01:02:45,679
And he added: "When you play 'Batuka'
and 'No One to Depend On',

751
01:02:47,055 --> 01:02:49,600
"it will be the street who knows you."

752
01:02:50,434 --> 01:02:54,188
I don't have anyone who...

753
01:02:54,271 --> 01:02:55,689
Surely it sounds familiar to you.

754
01:02:55,772 --> 01:02:58,025
I hadn't realized

755
01:02:58,108 --> 01:03:00,152
that my father listened to my music.

756
01:03:00,235 --> 01:03:02,237
I thought I heard yours

757
01:03:02,321 --> 01:03:03,906
and I listened to mine.

758
01:03:03,989 --> 01:03:08,827
But that night I realized
that dad was following us.

759
01:03:26,261 --> 01:03:28,722
I don't have anyone

760
01:03:29,932 --> 01:03:31,808
who can depend on.

761
01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:36,522
I don't have anyone

762
01:03:37,689 --> 01:03:39,483
who can depend on.

763
01:04:04,132 --> 01:04:06,093
For you, who is Carlos Santana?

764
01:04:06,468 --> 01:04:07,928
It's my son.

765
01:04:08,011 --> 01:04:09,930
Most loved by everyone.

766
01:04:12,099 --> 01:04:13,392
What do you do for a living?

767
01:04:13,475 --> 01:04:14,935
To the music.

768
01:04:16,019 --> 01:04:16,979
What is it that touches?

769
01:04:17,062 --> 01:04:17,938
Violin.

770
01:04:18,689 --> 01:04:20,232
Did you teach Carlos music?

771
01:04:21,316 --> 01:04:22,442
A bit.

772
01:04:22,526 --> 01:04:27,823
But when he grew up, like everyone else,
We put parents aside.

773
01:04:27,906 --> 01:04:29,741
When my son grew up...

774
01:04:29,825 --> 01:04:32,703
When I was young,
He started in music.

775
01:04:34,121 --> 01:04:35,872
And so, Carlos, it started with me.

776
01:04:35,956 --> 01:04:39,668
Then he didn't want the violin anymore.
and he took up the guitar.

777
01:04:40,252 --> 01:04:45,424
His career is not great,
but, in any case, he has a smooth time.

778
01:04:47,676 --> 01:04:50,887
He's proud of me and I'm proud of him.
I miss it.

779
01:05:12,492 --> 01:05:14,286
He died the day after Halloween.

780
01:05:17,789 --> 01:05:20,751
we had a tree
in the house of San Rafael.

781
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:26,256
Each of its leaves
It was covered in butterflies.

782
01:05:26,340 --> 01:05:28,300
Full of monarchs.

783
01:05:31,678 --> 01:05:34,139
Early in the morning,
He told my mother:

784
01:05:37,893 --> 01:05:40,520
And mom asked, "Where?"

785
01:05:42,814 --> 01:05:45,275
I couldn't play the violin anymore
I couldn't even do things...

786
01:05:46,068 --> 01:05:48,320
"I stand."

787
01:05:48,403 --> 01:05:50,405
"I stand."

788
01:05:50,489 --> 01:05:52,532
Mom says, "Where?"

789
01:05:54,534 --> 01:05:56,787
"Do you want to come with me?".
And she: "No, no."

790
01:05:58,789 --> 01:06:00,123
"Not yet".

791
01:06:00,207 --> 01:06:03,377
"I want to see a few more grandchildren."

792
01:06:03,460 --> 01:06:05,671
And it seems like he was seeing drawings.

793
01:06:06,546 --> 01:06:07,589
And he left.

794
01:06:07,673 --> 01:06:09,091
He left, just like that.

795
01:06:31,405 --> 01:06:33,657
On Earth, time is illusory.

796
01:06:41,123 --> 01:06:44,084
Before I know it,
I will meet them.

797
01:06:50,757 --> 01:06:55,554
I present to you a human being
that is worthy, upright

798
01:06:55,637 --> 01:06:57,931
and has the courage to stand up

799
01:06:58,014 --> 01:07:01,935
to his own existence,
with a family that supports him.

800
01:07:02,018 --> 01:07:03,270
Ladies and gentlemen,

801
01:07:03,353 --> 01:07:07,691
let me introduce the winner
of the 1996 Century Award,

802
01:07:07,774 --> 01:07:09,276
Carlos Santana.

803
01:07:11,862 --> 01:07:15,031
When we were young there were four things
that we heard high:

804
01:07:15,115 --> 01:07:18,493
Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane,

805
01:07:18,577 --> 01:07:21,246
P-Funk and also Carlos.

806
01:07:21,329 --> 01:07:23,457
It's an honor to be here

807
01:07:23,623 --> 01:07:26,460
to invest a samurai and shogun.

808
01:07:35,051 --> 01:07:38,096
Generally, when they give you
the Hall of Fame award, that's it.

809
01:07:43,852 --> 01:07:46,396
I had a meeting with Chris Blackwell.

810
01:07:47,272 --> 01:07:51,109
He was the person responsible
by PolyGram, Island Records.

811
01:07:53,028 --> 01:07:55,280
I said, "Look, this is what it is."

812
01:07:55,363 --> 01:07:59,785
You work and share music
with Bob Marley and Stevie Winwood.

813
01:07:59,868 --> 01:08:01,369
You are an artist like me.

814
01:08:01,453 --> 01:08:03,121
I carry inside me...

815
01:08:04,539 --> 01:08:05,791
a superdisk

816
01:08:05,874 --> 01:08:08,001
I can feel it. It will be a big album.

817
01:08:08,084 --> 01:08:11,630
I carry something inside
and I don't think you can master it.

818
01:08:11,713 --> 01:08:13,173
That's why I ask you,

819
01:08:13,256 --> 01:08:15,383
from artist to artist,

820
01:08:16,134 --> 01:08:17,302
Let me go."

821
01:08:19,429 --> 01:08:22,516
First he looked me in the eyes,
then up and said:

822
01:08:25,977 --> 01:08:27,521
"Tell your lawyer to call me."

823
01:08:40,116 --> 01:08:41,117
Look.

824
01:08:48,583 --> 01:08:51,253
Very good. It's getting better.

825
01:08:56,424 --> 01:08:57,926
There is a lot of mixing.

826
01:08:58,009 --> 01:09:01,179
Start by lowering it completely before...

827
01:09:01,263 --> 01:09:02,264
Pick up the bass.

828
01:09:03,014 --> 01:09:07,227
I spoke to Clive and Clive commented:
"Let's see if I understood it.

829
01:09:07,310 --> 01:09:09,896
This time you are willing
to throw you with me.

830
01:09:09,980 --> 01:09:13,108
Are you in charge of half?
and me from the other?

831
01:09:14,109 --> 01:09:16,361
Can I choose?" And I said yes.

832
01:09:16,444 --> 01:09:19,990
"I have Lauryn Hill, Wyclef..."

833
01:09:20,073 --> 01:09:24,828
He began to list them
and I just had to say yes.

834
01:09:24,911 --> 01:09:26,496
One, two and three.

835
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,132
To the other artists he said:

836
01:09:37,215 --> 01:09:39,175
"I return the song to you,

837
01:09:39,259 --> 01:09:41,011
because it doesn't sound good, nor do I feel it."

838
01:09:41,094 --> 01:09:42,596
He is not at Carlos' level.

839
01:09:44,264 --> 01:09:45,682
It's Carlos's album.

840
01:09:45,765 --> 01:09:49,352
It's not your album.
Leave room for the guitar."

841
01:09:59,321 --> 01:10:01,281
One of the greatest guitarists

842
01:10:01,364 --> 01:10:02,949
he delights us with "Smooth".

843
01:10:03,033 --> 01:10:05,035
His new CD is titled Supernatural.

844
01:10:05,118 --> 01:10:07,370
A round of applause for Santana and Rob Thomas.

845
01:10:07,454 --> 01:10:09,623
How hot.

846
01:10:10,582 --> 01:10:13,668
A few centimeters from full sun.

847
01:10:14,461 --> 01:10:19,299
I hear you whisper
and your words melt them all,

848
01:10:19,382 --> 01:10:21,718
but you still keep a cool head.

849
01:10:23,595 --> 01:10:25,263
My little doll.

850
01:10:26,765 --> 01:10:29,225
My Mona Lisa from Spanish Harlem.

851
01:10:30,018 --> 01:10:33,438
Clive Davis asked me:
"What does Carlos Santana want to do?"

852
01:10:34,606 --> 01:10:36,775
And I answered: "I would like...

853
01:10:36,858 --> 01:10:39,110
reconnect molecules with light."

854
01:10:39,194 --> 01:10:43,698
And if you said that this life
It's not good enough,

855
01:10:43,782 --> 01:10:48,078
I would give you my world to encourage you.

856
01:10:48,161 --> 01:10:53,041
I would be able to change my life
to adapt to your mood.

857
01:10:53,124 --> 01:10:57,003
What it means
"connect molecules with light"

858
01:10:57,629 --> 01:11:00,840
is, essentially,
publish an album for the radio.

859
01:11:00,924 --> 01:11:04,970
It's like the ocean under the Moon.

860
01:11:05,053 --> 01:11:08,598
It's the same emotion
what I feel when I'm with you.

861
01:11:08,682 --> 01:11:10,308
It's hard to get into the car

862
01:11:10,392 --> 01:11:13,103
and listen to music parents and children,

863
01:11:13,186 --> 01:11:15,355
because we like different things.

864
01:11:15,438 --> 01:11:17,899
For some reason,
Supernatural crossed that border.

865
01:11:20,485 --> 01:11:22,195
SANTANA GETS SUPERNATURAL

866
01:11:22,278 --> 01:11:23,446
KING CHARLES

867
01:11:23,530 --> 01:11:25,323
Ladies and gentlemen,

868
01:11:25,407 --> 01:11:27,158
turn up the volume

869
01:11:27,242 --> 01:11:29,744
to listen to Carlos Santana.

870
01:11:30,620 --> 01:11:33,373
Supernatural, number one in the US

871
01:11:33,456 --> 01:11:35,834
Maria, Maria...

872
01:11:35,917 --> 01:11:40,296
You are a hero to all those
who believe in second chances.

873
01:11:41,172 --> 01:11:42,882
You represent...

874
01:11:42,966 --> 01:11:44,134
It can be achieved.

875
01:11:44,217 --> 01:11:47,554
The world does not belong to them
to boys from 17 to 27 years old.

876
01:11:47,637 --> 01:11:51,891
Live a movie star life.

877
01:11:53,143 --> 01:11:55,478
Maria, Maria.

878
01:11:55,562 --> 01:11:57,605
Clive Davis sure plays a piano.

879
01:11:57,689 --> 01:11:59,190
and knows which notes to choose.

880
01:11:59,274 --> 01:12:00,859
He knows what success is.

881
01:12:00,942 --> 01:12:02,318
It has future attraction.

882
01:12:03,486 --> 01:12:07,282
And if you said that this life
It's not good enough...

883
01:12:07,365 --> 01:12:11,995
Supernatural opened another door for me
as immense as Woodstock.

884
01:12:12,078 --> 01:12:15,040
And the Grammy goes to: Santana.

885
01:12:15,123 --> 01:12:16,791
And the winner is: Santana.

886
01:12:16,875 --> 01:12:19,044
What a great way to meet Santana.

887
01:12:19,127 --> 01:12:21,755
Santana in collaboration with Everlast.

888
01:12:21,838 --> 01:12:23,048
Better stay up.

889
01:12:23,131 --> 01:12:26,593
I thank Don Carlos Santana
for this opportunity.

890
01:12:27,635 --> 01:12:28,928
"Smooth."

891
01:12:31,139 --> 01:12:35,643
The Grammy goes to: Supernatural, Santana.

892
01:12:42,067 --> 01:12:43,568
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
SUPERNATURAL

893
01:12:43,651 --> 01:12:45,904
With his eight Grammy Awards,

894
01:12:45,987 --> 01:12:48,948
Santana ties the record
by Michael Jackson 17 years ago.

895
01:12:49,032 --> 01:12:51,159
You serve as an inspiration to all of us.

896
01:12:51,242 --> 01:12:53,161
Thank you, Carlos Santana.

897
01:12:55,121 --> 01:12:56,873
Long live John Coltrane.

898
01:13:07,342 --> 01:13:10,261
It seems like a surreal dream.

899
01:13:13,848 --> 01:13:16,601
The whole world cheers you on.

900
01:13:16,684 --> 01:13:18,937
All kinds of people.

901
01:13:19,020 --> 01:13:20,814
I felt...

902
01:13:22,148 --> 01:13:24,734
fully recognized.

903
01:13:45,713 --> 01:13:50,176
Thanks to Supernatural,
I was able to ride the crest of the wave.

904
01:13:58,434 --> 01:13:59,978
For a long time...

905
01:14:00,687 --> 01:14:04,899
what happens to you as a child
It stays deep inside you.

906
01:14:07,819 --> 01:14:09,320
It's not entertainment.

907
01:14:09,404 --> 01:14:12,282
It's not sensationalism,
gossip and scandals.

908
01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:16,077
I don't want to walk into the room and say:

909
01:14:16,161 --> 01:14:19,581
"Hi, I'm the guy who was abused,"
and feel proud of it.

910
01:14:21,499 --> 01:14:23,751
But there are things that should be known,

911
01:14:23,835 --> 01:14:26,796
because many face them.

912
01:14:28,673 --> 01:14:30,884
From the year 57 to 59,

913
01:14:30,967 --> 01:14:34,345
I was abused by an American.

914
01:14:38,725 --> 01:14:41,269
And when that number came out
from Rolling Stone magazine...

915
01:14:41,352 --> 01:14:42,562
THE EPIC LIFE OF SANTANA

916
01:14:42,645 --> 01:14:44,189
...everyone who read it

917
01:14:45,940 --> 01:14:47,650
They confessed that it happened to them.

918
01:14:47,734 --> 01:14:50,820
"I thank Carlos
that had so much value."

919
01:14:56,576 --> 01:14:58,578
My mother found out from someone else

920
01:14:58,661 --> 01:15:00,538
that he had abused other children

921
01:15:00,622 --> 01:15:01,915
and he asked me.

922
01:15:03,833 --> 01:15:06,753
"Did such and such happen?"

923
01:15:08,129 --> 01:15:10,757
But she didn't know how to deal
with it and neither do I.

924
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,508
And I answered no.

925
01:15:15,470 --> 01:15:18,139
For a long time,
I felt anger towards my mother.

926
01:15:18,223 --> 01:15:20,475
He adored her and hated her.

927
01:15:20,558 --> 01:15:23,269
Like I said,
I had no skills or dexterity

928
01:15:23,353 --> 01:15:26,856
to sit with someone
and say, "I love you."

929
01:15:29,943 --> 01:15:33,238
I must transcend the victim mentality,

930
01:15:33,321 --> 01:15:36,658
hold a grudge
or send him to hell daily.

931
01:15:38,117 --> 01:15:41,454
"I am not what happened to me.

932
01:15:42,163 --> 01:15:44,207
I am who I am. I am the light.

933
01:15:48,878 --> 01:15:51,381
I am not my body. "I am free."

934
01:15:59,847 --> 01:16:03,810
During the zenith of Supernatural,
I returned to Ayutla, Jalisco.

935
01:16:03,893 --> 01:16:07,730
Something caught my attention.
"Get over there."

936
01:16:07,814 --> 01:16:11,943
A beautiful painting
of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

937
01:16:12,026 --> 01:16:13,778
I knelt down

938
01:16:14,487 --> 01:16:16,072
and I looked at her.

939
01:16:16,155 --> 01:16:18,658
I lit a candle, without stopping to look at it.

940
01:16:18,741 --> 01:16:21,536
I looked at her
and she looked at me.

941
01:16:21,619 --> 01:16:24,080
Then I heard a voice:

942
01:16:25,915 --> 01:16:27,583
"I'm proud of you."

943
01:16:29,669 --> 01:16:32,297
I felt a shock throughout my body.

944
01:16:32,380 --> 01:16:34,090
"Oh, God, he speaks to me."

945
01:16:34,173 --> 01:16:35,008
And says:

946
01:16:37,343 --> 01:16:39,220
"I'm so proud of you."

947
01:16:39,304 --> 01:16:41,639
And he stayed with me, like in a trance.

948
01:16:41,723 --> 01:16:42,724
The only thing I know is...

949
01:16:57,822 --> 01:17:00,742
"I am very proud of you,
for what you're doing,

950
01:17:00,825 --> 01:17:03,286
how are you doing it
and who you're doing it for."

951
01:17:04,746 --> 01:17:06,247
He gave me his approval.

952
01:17:08,791 --> 01:17:12,962
I will use your energy
to create something beautiful.

953
01:17:13,963 --> 01:17:15,590
And I finally learned...

954
01:17:16,924 --> 01:17:18,343
to tame the snake.

955
01:17:24,849 --> 01:17:26,809
And I'm not afraid.

956
01:17:34,233 --> 01:17:36,486
And I'm not afraid.

957
01:17:39,572 --> 01:17:40,865
Not anymore.

958
01:17:46,996 --> 01:17:48,623
I'm not afraid anymore.

959
01:17:50,708 --> 01:17:52,126
At all.

960
01:18:13,231 --> 01:18:14,440
I'm not afraid.

961
01:18:17,693 --> 01:18:18,736
Not anymore.

962
01:18:23,282 --> 01:18:24,617
I'm not afraid at all.

963
01:18:27,370 --> 01:18:28,496
Nothing.

964
01:18:56,899 --> 01:19:00,528
Dad, what do you think?
What have I invented? So.

965
01:19:15,501 --> 01:19:16,711
So.

966
01:19:18,004 --> 01:19:20,840
After Supernatural,
I think everything overwhelmed us,

967
01:19:20,923 --> 01:19:24,177
because Deborah was in charge
of business and offices,

968
01:19:24,260 --> 01:19:27,054
the children, the houses, the families and everything.

969
01:19:29,724 --> 01:19:32,518
It's very simple. Nothing complicated.

970
01:19:34,228 --> 01:19:38,566
people get together
to gain spiritual momentum.

971
01:19:40,610 --> 01:19:42,361
To grow together.

972
01:19:44,113 --> 01:19:47,492
When it's for comfort
and a person is not happy,

973
01:19:47,575 --> 01:19:49,619
spiritual force runs out.

974
01:19:49,702 --> 01:19:51,662
You don't grow spiritually.

975
01:19:51,746 --> 01:19:53,039
You should distance yourself,

976
01:19:53,122 --> 01:19:56,375
because the most important thing
It is to grow spiritually.

977
01:19:56,459 --> 01:19:58,461
Together, or separately.

978
01:20:00,505 --> 01:20:03,758
I will surely always occupy
a special place in your heart

979
01:20:03,841 --> 01:20:06,093
and she also in mine,

980
01:20:06,177 --> 01:20:08,971
because we have given birth
to some incredible children.

981
01:20:12,558 --> 01:20:14,936
WOODSTOCK 50TH ANNIVERSARY

982
01:20:15,019 --> 01:20:17,355
Wait a second.

983
01:20:17,438 --> 01:20:19,482
I don't want to act out of inertia.

984
01:20:19,565 --> 01:20:22,777
Let it be a clear and intense energy.

985
01:20:22,860 --> 01:20:25,071
Peacefully, taking no prisoners.

986
01:20:25,154 --> 01:20:26,531
Just the congas.

987
01:20:26,614 --> 01:20:27,823
Two, three and...

988
01:20:36,541 --> 01:20:40,169
I saw him address the band as a leader.

989
01:20:40,253 --> 01:20:41,337
I was amazed.

990
01:20:42,129 --> 01:20:44,131
"He knows what he wants."

991
01:20:51,722 --> 01:20:52,974
I told God:

992
01:20:54,308 --> 01:20:57,353
"God, you have given me so much,

993
01:20:58,187 --> 01:20:59,855
and there is so much to enjoy.

994
01:21:00,523 --> 01:21:02,275
Find me a queen

995
01:21:03,150 --> 01:21:05,528
with whom to share the awards

996
01:21:05,611 --> 01:21:07,780
of which you have given me."

997
01:21:07,863 --> 01:21:10,283
And you appeared.

998
01:21:39,103 --> 01:21:41,439
I love Cindy's walk.

999
01:21:43,649 --> 01:21:45,318
And he's from New York,

1000
01:21:46,319 --> 01:21:50,698
so you don't lack determination,

1001
01:21:50,781 --> 01:21:52,658
like our mother.

1002
01:21:52,742 --> 01:21:54,702
That conviction and determination.

1003
01:21:54,785 --> 01:21:57,913
I love that quality in a woman.

1004
01:21:59,373 --> 01:22:00,374
So, just like that.

1005
01:22:01,083 --> 01:22:02,460
Look, Cindy.

1006
01:22:11,677 --> 01:22:14,680
I had a friend who,
whatever the music was,

1007
01:22:14,764 --> 01:22:15,973
I always danced like that.

1008
01:22:20,269 --> 01:22:24,899
How do you crystallize
all those influences?

1009
01:22:28,527 --> 01:22:31,030
I can't stop learning from my sisters

1010
01:22:31,113 --> 01:22:33,741
how to be more forgiving

1011
01:22:34,450 --> 01:22:36,577
and less willing to fight.

1012
01:22:42,625 --> 01:22:44,543
I am who I am because of my mother

1013
01:22:44,627 --> 01:22:46,420
and, once again, for my father,

1014
01:22:46,504 --> 01:22:47,838
but, above all, my mother.

1015
01:22:49,423 --> 01:22:53,511
It was she who instilled courage in me.

1016
01:23:12,488 --> 01:23:13,864
Come on.

1017
01:23:19,704 --> 01:23:21,455
When playing a guitar solo,

1018
01:23:21,539 --> 01:23:24,500
you balance melody and rhythm.

1019
01:23:25,668 --> 01:23:26,627
The intonation.

1020
01:23:28,087 --> 01:23:29,338
The time.

1021
01:23:30,965 --> 01:23:32,258
The emotion, the passion.

1022
01:23:33,592 --> 01:23:34,719
And the fire.

1023
01:23:38,681 --> 01:23:41,809
You feel there are ropes
between your own heart

1024
01:23:41,892 --> 01:23:43,894
and that of other people.

1025
01:23:45,396 --> 01:23:46,522
That's why people say:

1026
01:23:46,605 --> 01:23:49,567
"You reach my deepest depths
every time you play."

1027
01:23:49,650 --> 01:23:50,943
They tell me.

1028
01:23:52,987 --> 01:23:55,614
You must know what you are talking about,
instead of repeating

1029
01:23:55,698 --> 01:23:57,241
what you've heard on records.

1030
01:24:01,829 --> 01:24:06,208
When you play a solo,
you know where you're going...

1031
01:24:07,543 --> 01:24:09,295
what you are trying to communicate...

1032
01:24:09,879 --> 01:24:11,547
and then you leave.

1033
01:24:22,224 --> 01:24:23,058
Brilliant.

1034
01:24:24,977 --> 01:24:26,687
Let's go eat tacos.

1035
01:27:42,883 --> 01:27:44,885
