Newly-Curated Compilation Spotlights Musical High Points & Hidden Gems from 2003-2019!

Splendiferous is a new vinyl 2LP compilation, personally curated by Carlos Santana, showcasing highlights drawn from Santana's musical output spanning 2003-2019. It focuses on the too-often-underappreciated, yet creatively fertile period following Santana's 1998 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the massive success of 1999's Supernatural. In the wake of Supernatural, Santana released a series of remarkable recordings, among them 2003's Shaman, 2005's All That I Am and 2014's Corazón, that stand with the best that Carlos, or his band, have ever made. Many of these songs and performances were overlooked at the time of their release and are being presented anew on Splendiferous as essential musical elements in the Santana canon.

"Splendiferous is a vision collection of incredible songs that I feel needed to be shared with the listeners' heart. I personally compiled the songs in a flow that speaks to me and tells a story, outside of time. The songs are assigned and designed to unite and celebrate humanity and bring healing and intimacy. I invite you to turn it up and join us for a glorious ride and enjoy ‘The Summer of Santana!' It's going to be Splendiferous!" says Carlos Santana.

Guest artists collaborating with Santana on the Splendiferous compilation include Plácido Domingo ("Novus), Ismaila and Touré Kunda ("Con Santana"), will.i.am ("I Am Somebody"), Samuel Rosa ("Saideira"), Seal ("You Are My Kind"), Chad Kroeger ("Into the Night"), Anthony Hamilton ("Twisted"), Citizen Cope ("Sideways"), Alejandro Lerner ("Hoy Es Adios"), Diego Torres ("Amor Correspondido"), Tina Turner ("The Game of Love"), and Steven Tyler ("Just Feel Better").
