Based off the strength of "Europa", I thought I would love "Amigos" and rarely listen to this album. Instead, the opposite is true. "Amigos", with the very notable exception of Europa, is a lazy, re-heated lump of banality for the masses who could never seem to get enough of "Oye Como Va." THIS album, however, is a gem.This is the third in Santana's foray into jazz, along with Caravanserai and Borboletta. This album features the widow of John Coltrane on piano, Anita, as well as a cover of Coltrane's "Welcome".The album opens with a trippy orchestral piece which is apparently based on Dvorak's "New World Symphony" (I love both pieces but I fail to hear the resemblance). The opener feels like an out of body experience where the listener is chasing the light at the end of the tunnel. It' the only way I can describe it. Throughout the album, the rhythms are complex and diverse. "Mother Africa" is a GORGEOUS song, and quite the percussion display: my favorite song on the album. "Flame-Sky" is an instrumental masterpiece rivalling "Promise of the Fisherman" off "Borboretta." There are some dated tracks like "When I Look Into Your Eyes" that scream orange shag carpeting, wood panels, afros and everything 70s, but if that detracts you from your appreciation of the album overall, feel free to listen to Duran Duran or Nickelback instead. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Welcome/Santana. *by C***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2022* Cd in good condition. The case came cracked. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Underrated and Timeless Classic *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2013* I bought "Welcome" in 1973 and in my view it's an underrated and timeless classic. It has, over the years, become one of my favorite albums, mainly because I still get a thrill when I listen to it. Like the band's previous album "Caravanserai", there is a heavy jazz influence. Santana and Shrieve were both listening to a lot of Miles Davis, John Coltrane and John McLaughlin at the time, and you can hear those influences on the record. As well as the instrumental tracks, there are also some great songs on the record. The vocalists include Leon Thomas, Wendy Haas and Flora Purim. The album features guest appearances by McLaughlin, Alice Coltrane, and Joe Farrell.My favorite track is the 11 minute "Flame-Sky" featuring some of the best guitar playing you will ever hear on record. Santana and John McLaughlin were probably the best electric guitar players around at that time. They both compete for attention and the resulting solos are breathtaking.Tom Coster (who plays keyboards) has said that the music probably went over the heads of most of their fans. The same could said of most rock critics, then and now. Because of this backlash, Santana decided to adopt a more commercial approach on subsequent albums. To be honest, I lost interest in Santana's music after "Welcome."This is a great record and a wonderful example of how fusion should sound. The music is complex yet accessible and the musicianship is superb. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/10759535-welcome](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/10759535-welcome) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
