On hearing that someone has covered Phil Collins’ classic In The Air Tonight, your first question might not be ‘who’s singing it?’ but ‘who’s playing the drum fill?’ . #Santana #Vaterdrumstricks #drummer #CBSband #CindyBlackmanSantana

Did you know "Oye Cómo Va" is a 1962 cha-cha-chá by Tito Puente? Santana released it in 1971, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. NPR called the song itself "the most important American musical works of the 20th century"!
