Santana - Welcome

Welcome el quinto disco de estudio de Santana lanzado en 1973. Siguió al no muy famosos Caravanserai, pero expandió la alineacion. Es un album no muy conocido de Santana, pero vale la pena escucharlo, es algo diferente. Se los recomiendo si no les gusta todo lo comercial y quieren escuchar algo diferente de la discografía de Santana, como el disco donde hizo duo con John McLaughlin (jazzista cabrón), así que ahí se los dejo.

Welcome is the fifth studio album by Santana, released in 1973. It followed the jazz-fusion formula that the preceding Caravanserai had inaugurated, but with an expanded and different lineup this time. Gregg Rolie had left the band along with Neal Schon to form Journey, and they were replaced by Tom Coster, Leon Thomas and John McLaughlin, who had collaborated with Carlos Santana on Love Devotion Surrender. Welcome also featured John Coltrane's widow, Alice, as a pianist on the album's opening track, "Going Home" and Flora Purim (the wife of Airto Moreira) on vocals. Because this album was far more experimental than his first four albums, Welcome did not feature any hit singles.
