Santana – In Search Of Mona Lisa EP

by Pete Sargeant | Aug 3, 2019

I really like Carlos’ Santana’s occasional sorties into tangential projects. This release was triggered by his viewing of the famous Mona Lisa painting in The Louvre in Paris.

by Pete Sargeant | Oct 8, 2017

A few copies of this release should be dropped over North Korea, I think..and then over Washington. Both these Sony acts have long promoted peace, love and understanding and their linking up to create and combine is a laudable notion.
