Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican and American rock guitarist. Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered rock, Latin music and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards.
Santana was born in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico. Carlos learned to play the violin at age five and the guitar at age eight. His younger brother, Jorge Santana, would also become a professional guitarist. Young Carlos was heavily influenced by Ritchie Valens at a time when there were very few Latinos in American rock and pop music. The family moved from Autlán de Navarro to Tijuana In La Colonia Libertad, the city on Mexico's border with California, and then San Francisco. Carlos stayed in Tijuana but joined his family in San Francisco later and graduated from James Lick Middle School and Mission High School there. He graduated from Mission High in 1965. Carlos was accepted into the California State University, Northridge and Humboldt State University, but turned down both of the offers. Javier Bátiz, a famous guitarist from Tijuana, was said to have been Carlos's guitar teacher who taught him to play a different style of guitar soloing. After learning Javier Batiz's techniques, Santana would make them his own as well.

Genres: Biography, History, Romance, War, Western,I fell in love in Santa Ana
The girl was just my type
Then we made love in Santa Ana
The shit went on all night
And then she said to me
Oh Joshua can't you see
I'm the kind of girl you should marry
A twenty year old girly
I felt like Mr. Furley
Looking at Janet and Terri
Well I got lost in Santa Ana
Trying to find a payphone
A victorious soldier in Santa Ana
Hoping to find his way home
And I saw the Condre's bug
And I gave home boy a hug
Haven't seen him for about a year now
I said now check it yo
I've been walking toe to toe
He said you can always count on me bro
Well he and I left Santa Ana
And Long Beach was just in sight
I said what the hell were you doing in Santa Ana
Something just wasn't right
He said there's this mommy there
With long flowing auburn hair
And a blond streak down the left side
He talked some other biz
And I knew my girl was his
Check you later dog thanks for the ride
Well this girl of ours
Her name was Adriana
Would mess up a friendship that's tight
I met her through my friend Susana
Who called me the very next night
She said I swear it's true what I'm about to drop on you
Your little girlfriends got a scandalous habit
A sorted tale is this about where she likes to piss
And at Jeff's house she revealed it
While he poured himself a drink and I pissed in his bathroom sink
Even though the air of romance wafted inside
Well the old sink didn't hold and the girl got knocked out cold
Got to go now the ambulance has arrived
Oooohhh, Adriana
Oh no, no no
