It first came to public attention after their performance at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, when their Latin rock provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This initial exposure made their first, eponymous album a hit at the time, followed in the next two years by successful follow-ups Abraxas and Santana III.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the next few years, lineup changes were common and frequent, and although retaining a basis of Latin rock, Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with guru Sri Chinmoy took the band further into more esoteric music, which continued for many years, although never quite losing the initial Latin influence.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Areas, David Brown, Mike Carabello, Gregg Rolie and Michael Shrieve being honored.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantana has achieved a total of eight Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards which were all awarded in 2000. Carlos also won two Grammy Awards as a solo artist in 1989 and 2003.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Santana","playStationPath":"/stations/113263341/play","stationId":113263341,"bioPath":"/music/Santana/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Little+Feat","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8a6/8a659116570ecb77f2377bd9656eac80_md.jpg","artistName":"Little Feat","artistId":6892,"station_id":113289163},{"musicPath":"/music/Albert+Collins","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/11c/11caa0b7d11e96854ba0a62df2d491c8_md.jpg","artistName":"Albert Collins","artistId":5210,"station_id":113618648},{"musicPath":"/music/Carlos+Santana","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/02c/02c38470a0ae3883e1561eb4dace49fa_md.jpg","artistName":"Carlos Santana","artistId":7366,"station_id":113321981},{"musicPath":"/music/Focus","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/dda/dda06b77857977f3de16012542d11471_md.jpg","artistName":"Focus","artistId":12318,"station_id":113366871},{"musicPath":"/music/Keith+Richards","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6b4/6b4fa0705317638d55c130227fd3dbff_md.jpg","artistName":"Keith Richards","artistId":64702,"station_id":263691366},{"musicPath":"/music/Peter+Gabriel","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3b8/3b86bbd6d52bdaaa7bea1e5bdb5abd60_md.jpg","artistName":"Peter Gabriel","artistId":602,"station_id":113273928},{"musicPath":"/music/Blind+Faith","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/512/512c87fc5834c654f8b858e39842892b_md.jpg","artistName":"Blind Faith","artistId":2402,"station_id":113279864},{"musicPath":"/music/Crosby+Stills+Nash","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9c6/9c6e137733a832b2859e5c593f3e9f14_md.jpg","artistName":"Crosby, Stills \u0026 Nash","artistId":1473,"station_id":113305230},{"musicPath":"/music/Roger+Waters","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b0b/b0b9467425c108888d792545b0c26de0_md.jpg","artistName":"Roger Waters","artistId":1827,"station_id":113274279},{"musicPath":"/music/Chicago","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b18/b1868e8bdbf50e7e0870cebb28f19e0c_md.jpg","artistName":"Chicago","artistId":262,"station_id":113264888},{"musicPath":"/music/Jefferson+Airplane","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/208/2086bc2ff77e72390b01c78f6dd2d3c0_md.jpg","artistName":"Jefferson Airplane","artistId":1397,"station_id":113273354},{"musicPath":"/music/Aerosmith","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1f7/1f710e6b874debeea54001d1f4c23094_md.jpg","artistName":"Aerosmith","artistId":39,"station_id":113262744},{"musicPath":"/music/David+Crosby","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5ee/5ee9b6752cf818f96de0d32e547292c5_md.jpg","artistName":"David Crosby","artistId":13821,"station_id":113342343},{"musicPath":"/music/Joe+Walsh","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ac4/ac43704381c31ec9d302b8218769666d_md.jpg","artistName":"Joe Walsh","artistId":9651,"station_id":113319359},{"musicPath":"/music/Elton+John","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e2b/e2b5754df49ce33ae9516897aae67572_md.jpg","artistName":"Elton John","artistId":365,"station_id":113261793},{"musicPath":"/music/The+J+Geils+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b8b/b8bc532ef0b083ab52f161f2016b91f6_md.jpg","artistName":"The J.
