Carlos Santana and band are stopping in Penticton as part of the North America Spring 2022 Blessings and Miracles tour.
From the 15-date tour attendees can expect high-energy, passion-filled songs with fan favourites throughout Santana’s 50-year career from Woodstock to Supernatural, a South Okanagan Events Centre media release said.
The Blessings and Miracles tour kicks off on March 25, 2022, and will mainly tour through the U.S., with stops in Victoria, Abbotsford, and Penticton on April 2, 2022.
“With his latest release Blessings and Miracles, Santana delivers one of the most ambitious, inspired, and flat-out magical records of his storied career,” the release said.
Blessings and Miracles feature collaborations with artists including Rob Thomas, Chris Stapleton, G-Eazy, American Authors and Ally Brooke, with features from Chick Corea, Steve Winwood and Corey Glover.
“Delivered with a level of passion and soul equal to the legendary sonic charge of his guitar, the sound of Santana is one of the world's best-known musical signatures,” the release said. “For more than four decades, from Santana's earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion outfit in San Francisco, Carlos has been the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres and generational, cultural, and geographical boundaries.”
