Meanwhile, the group had made some effort to arrest its commercial slide, hiring an outside producer, David Rubinson, and taking a tighter, more up-tempo, and more vocal approach to its music. The overt jazz influences were replaced by strains of R\u0026amp;B\/funk and Mexican folk music. The result was an album more dynamic than any since Santana III in 1971. \"Let It Shine\" (number 77), an R\u0026amp;B-tinged tune, became the group's first chart single in four years, and the album returned Santana to Top Ten status.\" AllMusic Review by William Ruhlmann\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantana’s music is like the game of Mikado – a tight bundle of pieces in various styles that is difficult to handle, even for experienced musicians. No whether the sticks are labelled funk, jazz, rock, R \u0026amp; B, or folk: when you try to pick out just one of these, the whole lot vibrates alongside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt seems relatively simple (and is often attempted) to try and sort out track lists according to more or less commercially oriented compilations. And having fastidiously set up the ranking and astutely discussed it in your circle of friends, you can sit back and enjoy the brilliant guitar sound of such blockbusters as \"Caravanserai\" (Columbia KC 31610) or \"Welcome\" (Columbia PC 32455) – quality rules the day!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his seventh album the guitar guru is once again surrounded by numerous freshly recruited supporting musicians and the star producer David Rubinson. The latter watches carefully over the development of this project, which is highly reminiscent of the early Santana sound. Why then should one try to pick out the various styles, genres or consumer groups when this record belongs to his best and most important six, seven – or maybe even eight? At the end of the day, we all remain amigos with Santana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllmusic : 4 \/ 5 , Discogs : 4.73 \/ 5 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59352722506063,"sku":"CSON 6681410 SA","price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Santana_-_Amigos_1.jpg?v=1793736040","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/products\/santana-amigos-multi-hybrid-sacd-japanese-edition","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
