The Universal Tone
Summary
The intimate and long-awaited memoir of guitar legend Carlos Santana In the realm of guitar gods, Santana stands alone for what's come to be called his "universal tone" - both the fact that you can recognize a Santana song from just one note and the fact that Santana is well known to believe music and soul are interconnected. In the category of major rock memoirs yet undone, this is at the top - a big autobiography by one of the most mysterious and influential musicians of the last 50 years. From growing up dirt poor in Mexico and suffering abuse to becoming a lowly dishwasher in the US with a hot guitar hand, to a person whom you might almost think is perpetually in a state of nirvana or at least bliss, this is the story of a fascinating man who brings the ideal combination of storytelling gold and a major marketing machine. This is one of the most sensory (and sensual) major rock bios you'll ever read. His voice comes through, it's deeply honest and frank, and from imagining the wisps of smoke from a long gone Miles Davis before Carlos' shows to describing the depths of his connection to sound, Santana brings a remarkable book to his huge following this fall.

El Tono Universal [The Universal Tone]
Summary
En 1967 en el Auditorio Fillmore de San Francisco, un joven guitarrista tocaba un solo arrasador que anunciaba la llegada de un prodigioso talento. Dos años después tocaba una histórica función en Woodstock, y el mundo conoció a Carlos Santana. El Tono Universal es una atrapante historia sobre la autodeterminación musical y el autodescubrimiento. Describe la trayectoria de Santana desde los primeros días de su adolescencia como músico en Tijuana y el nacimiento de su característico sonido de guitarra; su papel como esposo, padre y estrella del rock; y la grabación de algunos de los álbumes de rock más influyentes de la historia. El Tono Universal abunda en una intrepidez musical que encuentra humor en el mundo de la fama de alto vuelo, habla llanamente de las revelaciones personales y celebra la posibilidad divina e infinita que Santana ve en cada persona que conoce. PLEASE NOTE: This audiobook is in Spanish.
