Santana

Oneness Tour 2025

Santana and Montreux share a deep love story. And it’s been that way since his first appearance on 20 June 1970, less than a year after his performance at Woodstock. A true visionary, Carlos Santana has transcended generations and cultures by fusing rock, blues and Afro-Latin sounds. A guitarist with an instantly recognisable sound, he is one of those rare artists capable of moving from a languid instrumental ballad to a Latin pop hit with an incendiary groove or a jazz-rock experimentation. A winner of ten Grammy Awards, Carlos Santana remains one of the few artists to have had a Top 10 album in every decade since the 1960s. At the Montreux Jazz Festival, Santana offered some rare moments, notably his duets with B.B. King, John McLaughlin and Wayne Shorter, not to mention his legendary parade through the city’s streets in 2006. After a ten-year absence, Santana is finally making his grand return to the Festival for a concert that promises to be historic on the Scène du Lac.
