Santana's follow-up to its comeback album, Amigos, was another David Rubinson-produced effort that moved back toward more of a Latin-rock feel, although it retained an essentially pop focus - "The River" was the first real vocal ballad on a Santana album. If any doubt still existed that the group was no longer a band of equals but a platform for its lead guitarist, the current lineup dispelled that; Carlos Santana was now the only original member of the band left. Although the album went gold, the lack of a hit single hurt the album's commercial standing; its number 27 peak was the lowest yet for a Santana Band album.

William Ruhlmann, All-Music Guide



Südamerikanische Klänge

Santana ist ja eigentlich bekannter für wundervolle, ewig lange Gitarrensoli, aber hier gibt es mehr südamerikanischen Flair. Trommeln, die einheizen, Pfeifen, die im Hintergrund erklingen und diesen typischen Rhythmus der Brasilianischen Nächte. Und plötzlich kommen sie doch, diese atemberaubenden Soli des Meisters der Gitarre. Eine wundervolle Mischung toller Titel, die einen nie ruhig sitzen lassen. Man muß einfach aufspringen, denn dies ist einfach Tanzmusik. Man will sich bewegen, die Hüften kreisen lassen und auf der Straße mit anderen Menschen gemeinsam Party machen - geht ja meist nicht, aber somit ist diese CD der absolute Knaller für die nächste Privatfete. Da kann man dann mal wieder so richtig die Sau raus lassen und einfach entspannt den Tag beenden. Ich wünsche viel Spaß!

Carnaval

Vamanos, vamanos al carnaval
Es hora de bailar mi amor

Come on, let’s go
Let’s go to carnaval
It is time to sing and dance my love

Yo quiero lo felicidad
Que da el carnaval

I want the happiness and joy
That’s found in carnaval


Let the Children Play

Let the children have their way
Let the children play
Let the children play

(Repeat)

Yo le digo caballero
Que los ninos le quieren jugar
Ellos tienen que jugar
Ellos tienen que jugar

(Repeat)

Let the children play
Ellos tienen que jugar
Ellos tienen que jugar
Let the children play


Jugando

(Instrumental)


Give Me Love

Chorus:
Give me life, oh give me love
It’s all I need, It’s all I ask
I’ll give you life, I’ll give you love
That’s what I need to feel like this

Love was meant to be what you have been to me
Not just a runnin’ free
What am I gonna do to make my dreams come true
You’re all I need, I feel

(Repeat Chorus)


Verao Vermelho

(Instrumental)


Let the Music Set You Free

Let the music set you free
(Repeat)


Revelations

(Instrumental)


Reach Up

Got to keep moving up
Got to keep moving up
Got to keep moving up
Got to keep moving up

Got to keep moving up
For my brother
Got to keep moving up
Got to keep moving up
For my sister
Got to keep moving up
Keep on reachin’
Keep on reachin’ for the sky
Keep on reachin’
Keep on reachin’ for the sky

Got to keep movin’
Got to keep movin’ up
Got to keep movin’
For my brother
Got to keep movin’
Got to keep movin’
For my sister
Got to keep movin’

Keep on reachin’
Keep on reachin’ up
Keep on reachin’ for the sky


The River

You are my river
Keep on flowing through
Filling my life
With all of you

You are the freedom
I’ve been searching for
Oh, how I love you
Just for who you are

There will be hard times
Everyone must go through
Testing his love
Just to see if it’s true
But the hard times will come
But they all pass away
I have seen the light
In my life today

That’s why I love you
Just for who you are

You are my river


Try a Little Harder

Chorus:
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now

No one ever said it would be easy
Doin’ whatever you do
You just might have to suffer
But keep on movin’ right through
You’ve got to

Chorus

Sometimes you have to change your tune
To get where you want to be
But don’t you let that satisfy you
You can have all you see

Chorus


Maria Caracoles

(Instrumental)
