During the final part, however, he devolves into a true solo, demonstrating his flair for hooky riffs, as well as a nod to the influence of Gabor Szabo.
Throughout the fairly structured first part and bridge, he plays a set melody, simply adding little touches for effect. Like it’s successor, the luminous “ Europa (Earth’s Cry, Heaven’s Smile)”, Samba Pa Ti showcases the melodic genius of Carlos Santana. (In order to achieve the unique tone of the song, Carlos leaves a Wah Wah pedal set somewhere in the middle of its range.)
Then they speed up into a mid-tempo Samba rhythm, as Carlos builds a hook-laden solo based on blues riffs, Latin-flavored trills, and the beautiful bell-like tone (especially in the high register) of his guitar through a Fender Twin Reverb tube amplifier. Though this part is technically in the key of G major, the melody and use of numerous minor chords lends it a haunting air.Īfter the figure is played twice, the band crescendos into a bridge which accentuates the G major flavor. You can see in this live performance circa 2011 in Montreux the passion that just. The first section features a beautiful guitar melody over a simple chord progression, played by Gregg Rolie on the Hammond B3 organ. Legendary Samba Pa Ti is one of Santanas most popular instrumentals. Written by Carlos one night while he was sitting outside his apartment, Samba Pa Ti is essentially a two-part song, separated by a short bridge. In fact, the song charted in the Top 30 in the U.K.
But it wasn’t until the lyrical “Samba Pa Ti” (literally, “Samba for You”) that Santana achieved his first truly memorable instrumental tune. And, driven by the impetus of its appearance in the film, Woodstock, “Soul Sacrifice” remained a crowd pleaser. The song Samba Pa Ti (Thru Every Step In Life U Find Freedom From Within) (Dedicated 2 Carlos Santana) by Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra has a tempo of 84. Without a doubt the first album had some interesting instrumental passages. Check out the new video for this guitar and percussion-driven song by the leading Santana Tribute and Latin-rock band.
