aka King Riff

Their vocalist Chitose is truly one of the most savage ever recorded

The way Shorter’s thoughts unravel

Glen Benton’s rage-filled imprecations are a little more intelligible and songs like “Slave to the Cross” and “Blame It on God” do sport choruses that verge upon being hooky (if you have a meathook in mind)

SANTANA – CARAVANSERAI Funny / Party Punk aka King RiffThis album is a remarkable shift for Carlos Santana and his band the fusion of rock, Latin rhythms and jazz feels deeply thoughtful and adventurous. The guitar work is expressive and the instruments breathe together in a way that still resonates today. A must listen for anyone curious about music that moves beyond the usual. Discogs user review
