This review is from: Salsa, Samba & Santana, 1991 Compilation Sony Music (Audio CD)

The music is good, the notes are not helpful - no information on which album these cuts came from, what year they were recorded, who the other primary musicians were, etc. You'd have to have Santana's complete catalog to piece that together (if it matters to you).

Some tracks are live, most are studio. What they have in common is heavy reliance on Latin percussion to keep the groove going, and the lengthy solos of Carlos. The other main instrument featured in solos is keyboard/organ; some of the players are great, some are so-so. Some tracks have vocals, many are instrumentals.

A few of the cuts cause me to wonder, "Why did they include THAT one?" And others that should have been here were not included (no "Oye Como Va"?). Overall it's a good compilation.
