popular) because he didn't always think "Top 40". He allowed himself to experiment and grow out of the box, far beyond the typical rock/blues/jazz thing. If Salvador can do that, if he can find his niche, then I think he can be successful. And I hope he will, cuz I know it'll make his dad really proud!
Now here's a video that I just want to share, and only because Zahra2008 found it! ... I think this is Carlos in a very easy confidence about who he is, and it's in a "street music" scene which always adds a nice element. Of course the song was probably recorded in a studio, but the "street" really brings it home .......
Santana ft. Rob Thomas - Smooth
Also: At the end of this year, Carlos will release a new album with Marcelo Vieira, titled "Marcelo Vieira's Acoustic Sounds"? ... sounds interesting ... I wonder if hijo Salvador will be featured anywhere in that album.....
Edit ... I just watched the video again .... Carlos is clean, Carlos is Mr. Cool, Carlos is da MAN!!
