Guitar legend Carlos Santana: Welt needs more hippies
For Carlos Santana, the hippie movement is more than just nostalgia. He finds: Hippies are completely wrongly smiled at these days. Hawaii makes the rock musician a declaration of love.
Guitar legend Carlos Santana (“Smooth”) wishes more hippie spirit for the world. “Today the hippies are sometimes smiled at. I think: completely wrong,” said Santana in the German edition of the magazine “Playboy”. You have to find it back on the values of the hippies, to common, unity and harmony.
“Even then, people shaken their heads, wondered what dancing they dance naked in the mud, when the soldiers die in the Vietnam War,” said the rock musician. “One had to do with the others. We hated the war and we celebrated life at the same time. We didn’t agree to politics, but we were still happy and inspired.”
Santana: Do not meet a frustrated person in Hawaii
Born in Mexico in 1947, Santana and his band rose to the star at the legendary Woodstock Festival from 1969. At that time, world-class music was celebrated peacefully between the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Movement. The original Woodstock Festival is still the highlight of the hippie movement in the USA.
Hawaii is a paradise for him, said Carlos Santana, who owns a house there. “What is not there is stress. In Hawaii, I do not encounter any angry, no angry, no frustrated or angry people. Everyone is somehow happy, many work on me very wise.”
The multiple Grammy winner is considered the inventor of the Latin rock. His classics include “Black Magic Woman”, “Samba Pa Ti” and a guitar -hugging version of “Oye Como VA”. The musician is currently touring Europe with his band.
