FESTIVÁL

Probably the first Santana album to be weak. There are some good songs here, but they are all in the beginning : the three songs Carnaval, Let The Children Play and Jugando. All of these three tracks (Jugando is instrumental) would be played in the double album part live/part studio Moonflower one year later. The other tracks are really mediocre, Maria Caracoles, Reach Up, Verao Vermelho, Give Me Love...In its entirety, Festival is mediocre, totally forgettable. There will be other Santana albums like this one, but in the 80's.
