Santana - Going Home

[umbertino]

 

From  "Welcome" (1973) ...One of my 4 fave. Santana band albums along with Abraxas, Caravanserai and Borboletta...All masterpieces...1970-74...Carlos' (and band) magical period...

 

 

Track originally written and recorded by Turiyasangitananda Alice Coltrane

Beautiful ...

 

If I'm not mistaken....There's an album Carlos rec'd w John McLaughlin dating 20 or 30 years back  with almost  same name ( Love Devotion Surrender)...At the time they both used to be mentored by the same Yogi Master....
