history
The band was founded in San Francisco in 1966 , the first formation included Tom Frazier (guitar), Mike Carabello (percussion), Rod Harper (drums), Gus Rodriguez (bass guitar) and Gregg Rolie (organ, vocals). In the years that followed, the composition of the group changed very frequently and fundamentally. With the song Soul Sacrifice they appeared in 1969, shortly after their first album, at the Woodstock Festival and led this to one of the first musical highlights. 1971 to 1972 there was also a brief separation between Santana and the band.
Carlos Santana rarely did the vocal part himself. Usually other band members sang. So on Black Magic Woman from the second album, Abraxas , one of the most famous pieces of the group to hear a singer keyboardist Gregg Rolie.
