Santana IV is the twenty-fourth studio album (thirty eighth album overall) by American rock band Santana, released in April 2016.
The album reunited most of the surviving members from the early 1970s lineup of the band (including Carlos Santana, Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Mike Carabello and Michael Shrieve) and was the first time that the quintet had recorded together since 1971’s Santana III. Timbalist José Areas was not invited to participate. Joining these “core” members were later Santana members Karl Perazzo (percussion) and Benny Rietveld (bass), with vocalist Ronald Isley guesting on two cuts. Santana IV included 16 new tracks written and produced by the band.

Africa Speaks is the twenty-fifth studio album (thirty ninth album overall) by the band Santana, released on Concord Records on June 7, 2019.
Two albums featured this evening. Santana’s Abraxas and Steely Dan’s Can’t Buy A Thrill.
Santana’s debut for Concord records is pretty low key: an EP containing three new songs, along with edits of two of those tracks. It’s intended as an amuse bouche before Global Revelation, an album he recorded with Rick Rubin, but this EP contains none of Rubin’s signature back-to-basics moves. Recorded with producer Narada Michael Walden, it’s slick and shimmering, existing just on the margins of jazz fusion. The presence of bassist Ron Carter on “Lovers from Another Time” underscores this connection, but the EP opens with “Do You Remember Me,” ten minutes of jamming that’s too mellow to be called epic. Santana picks up a bit with “In Search of Mona Lisa,” which bops to a Bo Diddley beat and contains the only sung narrative of the three songs. It sticks out a bit like a sore thumb compared to the grace of “Lovers from Another Time,” which benefits from its glossiness, making Santana and Carter appear to glide. For this track alone, In Search of Mona Lisa is worth a listen, but the other two songs are amiable enough to not be a distraction.
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Abraxas is the second studio album by Latin rock band Santana, released in September 1970.
Santana is an American Latin rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1966 by Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana. The band first came to widespread public attention when their performance of “Soul Sacrifice” at Woodstock in 1969 provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This exposure helped propel their first album, also named Santana, into a hit, followed in the next two years by the successful Abraxas and Santana III.
This evening on the playlist will be: War, Santana, Isaac Hayes, the Spaniels, LaBelle, Wilson Picket & the Falcons, Johnnie Taylor, the Dells, Tommy Hunt, Blue Magic, the Intruders, the Magnificent Men; (Live in Concert at the Uptown Theatre), and more. Join me at 7PM ET, 6PM CT, 5PM MT & 4PM PT. The link to hear the show again until next Monday is:
