Santana "Brothers" By PRB

Hi, Dead!

procurando nos arquivos mutantes por Santana, achei dois posts maravilhosos deste cara inclassificável e dono de um som inconfundível, lembrei de um trabalho pouco conhecido ou comentado na web, trata-se de Brothers.

Onde seu irmão Jorge e seu sobrinho Carlos Hernandes fazem um verdadeiro estrago.

segue aí o link, se interessar faça bom uso dele.

saudações,

do amigo e admirador:

PRBSantana Brothers é um álbum lançado em 27 de setembro de 1994 por Carlos Santana, seu irmão Jorge Santana e seu sobrinho Carlos Hernandez.

O álbum chegou à 191ª posição na parada da The Billboard 200.Luz Amor Y Vida" was nominated for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.

Carlos comes together with his brother Jorge and their nephew Carlos Hernandez to tear it up family-style on their monster guitar opus, BROTHERS.

Released on Carlos's Guts & Grace imprint, BROTHERS is a relentlessly fiery barrage of hard, prog-guitar textures and grooves.

Several of the cuts were co-written by Jorge, who is a prodigious guitarist-composer in his own right.

For a rare and exciting change, the elder Carlos of the ensemble tries his hand on the drums (overdubbed), upping the ante on the thunderous "Transmutation/Industrial," which features all three six-stringers with their amps cranked to 11.

The three again duel it out on the frantic, two-toned "The Trip," which affords a fun look at where their personal styles meet and diverge.

"Thoughts" is a brisk metallic-melodic jaunt a la Steve Vai, penned by and featuring nephew Carlos on guitar with spare backup from the band's rhythm section.

Jorge's gentle and lonely solo treatment of the misty instrumental "Morning in Marin" evokes the spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, or perhaps the young Ritchie Valens on "Sleepwalking."Recorded at Plant Studios, Sausalito, California.
