Santana went back to the dance floor on Amigos, the 1976 album returning here as a 180-gram reissue.
After several years of spiritual jazz-fusion exploration, Carlos Santana teamed with producer David Rubinson and headed into Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco to make something more direct. New vocalist Greg Walker joined the lineup, and it would be the final album with original bassist David Brown. The result connected with a wide audience on both sides of the Atlantic, reminding listeners how irresistible the band could be when it locked into a groove.
"Dance Sister Dance (Baila Mi Hermana)" opens the record in a whirl of congas, timbales and stinging guitar, while "Let It Shine" leans into a smooth, funky soul groove. The instrumental "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)" is the emotional heart of the album, with Carlos's sustained guitar lines singing like a human voice over a slow, swelling backdrop. The percussion section is relentless throughout, giving even the mellow moments a restless, rhythmic pulse that never lets up.
For anyone who loves Abraxas but never went further into the 70s catalogue, this is a natural and rewarding next step. The heavy 180-gram pressing gives those percussion-rich arrangements real weight and warmth on the turntable.
