Update: Carlos Santana, Michael Jackson N Quincy Jones
Friday, 11 January 2008
Update: 3:14pm est. New York time: Legendary Guitarist Carlos Santana recently appeared Thursday night on Mas Vale Tarde con Alex Cambert on the Telemundo Television channel along with his son Salvador Santana whose also a musician like his pops, were interviewed on the show. Carlos Santana rarely conducts TV interviews so I definitely had to watch. I didn’t know he worked with Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, which he said that he smoked and got high with them a few times back in the day when they made music together.
Carlos also spoke about how his father taught him from a young age to play the violin; his father showed him an example about how powerful music is by pointing at a tree where a bird was singing and his father played from his violin some music notes back and fore with the bird he went. He then realized his true passion was playing the guitar to reach the masses through his music. But what surprised me from the interview is when he spoke about working again with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. The host Alex Cambert was making fun of Michael Jackson by showing Santana a few picture cards of people he has worked with over the years. He asked Carlos Santana in Spanish, if you worked with Michael Jackson when he was black or when he was white as he flipped two picture cards of Michael Jackson. Carlos Santana spoke well of Michael and praised him and he went further by saying I quote “Michael, called me not too long ago," said Santana. “And he asked me to work with him and Quincy Jones which both are back working together again.” By the way, his response was in Spanish so I’m just translating it into English for you guys. I never thought Michael and Quincy were going to make up and do another album together again but Carlos said this on national TV. I’ll believe it when the album actually drops. –Edwin Diaz, So Hood Magazine, SoHood.com
