Santana-Moonflower (1977)

"Moonflower" is one of Santana's most famous albums, perhaps the most popular among his 70's fans, even above masterpieces like "Abraxas" or "Caravanserai".
This double album has the peculiarity of interspersing live tracks with studio tracks, which is why it is considered Santana's most important live album, since "Lotus" was not released worldwide until the mid-90s.
Recorded during the tour of the album "Festival" in Europe, it shows a perfect fusion of Latin sounds with the blues rock of the seventies.
It includes the legendary "Europa", "Flor de Luna", "Samba Pa ti", "Carnaval", "Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen", "Dance Sister Dance" or "Soul Sacrifice / Head".
Santana also included the version of the Zombies "She's Not There", and the album would reach sales that exceeded 3 million copies worldwide.
