Carlos is such a pure Class act, he re hes being interviewed and championing chad Smith the whole time. instead of making it about himself. Hes Giving so much love and respect to his interviewer. True Class
Well one thing I can say: A true musician is a philosofer weather he wants it or not. A creative musician with his thoughts has to go into a spiritual level because the Art of music enhances everything around us, sociëty, Art, you name it. Great conversation.
Carlos left a message on my Facebook 4 years ago very kind polite words hello ma'am thank you for liking my music if you have any ideas I would love to hear back.. I was like omg! Thank you so much! I got to see him in concert in 2015 it was MAGNIFICENT INCREDIBLE INTEGRITY IGNITES!!
The most important part of music is the human being who makes it! Is his heart! Emotions! The Love He uses to make music! Music could never be automated! It could never be AI made because it will lack Soul! It'll lack that fire that warms your heart when you listen to! Somethings cannot exist without humans and music is one!
Seger said it best: Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away Every ounce of energy, you try to give away As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play...
Well, this will be freaking good!! Chad Smith besides being a great great musician, is a great great interviewer.He has a lot of nuance and empathy(interstby, maybe lol) in his thinking and obviously a complete love and fascination with the music and everything that surrounds it. Of course Carlos, well you know.👍👍 Thank you for posting this. Thank you * 14 + 100 million * 2 trillion. What does that equal, I don't f****** know! Pardon the language, it's enthusiasm my friend!! Thanks again
Man all those artists/musicians from the Woodstock culture/time, they develop such an approach to life - a light that kept with them, it's crazy. Nobody nowadays to THIS extent live, approach or think like them or a really small percentage & that's a f*cking shame
As opposed to other types of music, in Puerto Rican Bomba -type of folkloric dance rooted in Africa- the drummer follows the dancer. Through some particular steps or movements that the dancer makes, the drummer needs to be really alert in order to hit at a particular time, dictated by the dancer when the drummer least expects it. So basically it's a call and response in which the dancer tells the drummer what to do. It’s somewhat difficult for me, with no formal musical training to explain in words so I’d suggest those interested to search on YT “Bomba dancing/dancers” from Puerto Rico. Just pay attention to what the dancer does with her/his body and listen to what the drummer answers at particular instances. Love Santana since I was a 12 yr old growing up in Puerto Rico back in 1970 and every time I listen to anything he says I learn something new.
I Meet Carlos in New York, onze in a life time, the rest is love, Devotion and Surrender, Nobody knows anything!! Only God is the wiseone!!! 26/5/2015 Holland Europa
Santana, you are wrong. Any person, master of his craft, even a plumber, by the way he works, how he is diligent, how he thinks and solves the problems he has to every day, can inspire who sees, or who is attentive.
Carlos's saying really interesting things. But Chad isn't picking up the signs that Carlos isn't a interested in anything he's saying. Behaving with the false confidence of someone who's on something.

Santana is pure music. Pretty much like Hendrix, Coltrane, Roy Haynes.. he belongs to that family of pure music. Every note is powerful.
to think how many out there today who can say they shared a stage with Jimi.
Came here from Chad interviewing Ginger Baker. Quite a contrast!
PutItAway101 same here.
PutItAway101 I know, Santana actually talks!
Me too.. What a contrast
Me too. From a sociopath, to an Empath. Quite a difference.
Same here. I barley lasted ten minuets of that interview before I gave up.
Carlos, the light is strong in the man.
Chad Smith looks like a really nice guy :)

Seen them both live and two of my favourite nights of my life... Love them both.

Incredible Interview!
Great words of inspiration and wisdom from the both of them, pure magic!
I love you Santana ! Viva la raza
Awesome interview from two amazing musicians!
Eavesdropping on talented musicians....Awesome! :)
Santana is a music shaman

Thank you for sharing😎🙏
A good musician can wake up my soul and inspire me to get lost in the music at the same time :) -A

Big ups to Chad! These things need to happen.
This is great

Chad is a cool I like the way he interacts with CS.
LMFAO. Chad gigging " you touched me where nobody has done before ". I knew what he meant :) -A
I love Santana's craft. :) -A

Carlos SANTANA 💖
Génie 🎸🎶
Charismatique
Prêcheur de la bonne parole 🙏
Chad should interview Michael Shrieve , my fave drummer and a key part of Santana Mark 1.
Carlos was deep...so deep, he went on a tangent and I got lost...

Will Ferrel interviewing Santana.
Chad smith interviewing Cheech marin
Check out Will and Chad’s drum off
I still think the Drumming on Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock is up there with any iv seen.
I'd love to meet Carlos Santana but I'd be nervous, it would be like meeting God
no, not God. just a human being like the rest of us, though he is an exceptionally gifted musician
a plumber did wake me to my calling
I am grown man, you don't have to hold a time for me.

The "Black Magic Woman" comment? Haven't read all the comments, but It's probably there. In case not, here it is😊😍
I think of drummers like the binding on a book. It holds the book together but doesn't lead the story within.
Ah okay, thanks.
I wasn't aware.
what a weird comment,"as long as it's not an old man with a young child"??? santana was like wtf!
Great interview. What I want to know is: Is Carlos being interviewed by "Chad" or by Will Farrell?
Me gusta
Es la verdad, Brett!!
even when Chad talks and his aneurisms resemble Will Ferrel, too funny
Santana, you are wrong.
Any person, master of his craft, even a plumber, by the way he works, how he is diligent, how he thinks and solves the problems he has to every day, can inspire who sees, or who is attentive.
"They had strippers in Tijuana?!" You've asked better questions Chad...
It's called sarcasm.
Santana es un chamán master de la espiritualidad
BRAVO, Diego, BRAVO!!!

Carlos's saying really interesting things. But Chad isn't picking up the signs that Carlos isn't a interested in anything he's saying. Behaving with the false confidence of someone who's on something.
Guthrie Govan. A conversation could be nice. With words that is😊
This explains why Carlos is married to a drummer!
chad smith is like 60 and he still dresses like hes 16.
John Andrews sooooo
Too good
He's a rocker not a lawyer! People dress how they want. He's dressed appropriately.
what do you mean? Just wondering because I don't know a huge amount about his life.
Damn lol you think you screw it up words I live by
I’ve always thought my uncle looked like Carlos Santana 😆 they’re so identical but sadly no relation to Mr. santana which would have been neat. 😄
Are they going to jam or what?
Chad smith looks like Will Ferrell.
Santana & Will Ferrell !
thats Will Ferrell
Estos tipos fuman cosas raras.
You have no idea what I look like
Wait...Chad can talk?
Is Chad high?
LOL, Jimmy!!!
There is a difference between a drummer and a percussionist
how so...?
Hey chad,,, better talking with Carlos,, other than Casket Ginger Baker!!🤣
"spirituality and sensuality make human free".
Is this the same guy that was wearing the Che Guevara shirt? I don't understand.
Drumavid Checkupz I read this comment wearing a Che Guevara shirt
Che Guevara is a hero to the world! A true freedom fighter!
Chad smith sounds drunk
Why is Chad talking like a Mexican?
Performer and the songwriter... Wont work, wrong questions from Chad🙂he just have a no idea, cool anyway
He had to put chad on his hat and this guy can’t sit still man
Ginger wanted to smash Chad. Ginger not a nice man
And the moral of the story is if you're a drummer, make sure you get yourself to some strip clubs.
chad, youre trying too hard to come off as an intellectual but my friend, you fall short. youre just not that deep
I agree. He also seems nervous, but he is a hell of a drummer.
man, carlos is pretty much gone now, so many drugs.
Carlos is turning into an old woman
