Az ifjú Santana tizenöt évesen kezdett gitározni. Zenéjére a legnagyobb hatást a latin kultúra gyakorolta. 1967-ben az Egyesült Államok nyugati partjára, San Franciscóba költöztek. Már a költözés évében tagja lett az Azteca nevű zenekarnak. Az 1960-as évek végén vált ismertté csapatával, a Santana Blues Band együttessel.

He became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered rock, Latin music and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003,Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.[2] He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3Latin Grammy Awards.[3]
