(6,288 posts)1. One of my top 5 all time fav bands. Thanks for posting!
Smooth is such an outstanding song
My Santana 'most played' song was :
OYE COMO VA
LYRICS
Oye como va
Mi ritmo
Bueno pa' gozar
Mulata
Lyrics Meaning:
Salsa legend Tito Puente wrote this song and recorded it in the early '50s. While Puente was very popular in the Latin community, Santana's cover became a hit and helped introduce Puente to a wider audience.
On Santana's version of the song, everything, including the guitar wails and keyboards, follow the original music.
The voice in the beginning says "Sabor," which is Spanish for "Flavor."
A "Mulata" is a woman ("Mulato" being a male) of Caucasian European and Negro African descent. The correct translation of the word "oye" is listen. The translation of the lyrics is thus:
"Listen to my rhythm, good for fun, mulata!!" >>
Gregg Rolie, who sang on many of Santana's early hits, took the lead vocals on this song. Rolie was a founding member and keyboard player for Santana; he joined Journey in 1973.
I fking love this man 😎✌
