A Personal Musical Journey
Carlos Santana’s relationship with Budapest spans over four decades – he first performed in the Hungarian capital in 1983. As one longtime fan described it: Watching Santana live isn’t just hearing music; it’s experiencing pure spiritual energy channeled through six strings.
The Oneness Tour represents Santana’s philosophy of unity through music, transcending cultural and generational boundaries. At 77, Carlos Santana continues to embody the same revolutionary spirit that made Woodstock legendary and turned albums like Abraxas into multi-platinum classics.
His recent quote captures this perfectly: I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life because I’m grateful. We hope we’ve touched many people’s hearts with our music. Our goal was to make people jump for joy and cry at the same time.
