Africa Speaks

Africa Speaks is the new energy-infused full-length album from Santana. It features the soulful vocals of Afro-Latin singer Buika and was produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin. Santana and his eight-piece band (featuring his wife Cindy Blackman Santana on drums) convened at Rubin s Shangri La Studios in Malibu and in a joyous and stimulating 10-day period they recorded an astonishing number of tracks many of them in one take. Inspired by the melodies sounds and rhythms of Africa Santana has created a truly memorable and powerful experience that also promises to be one of his most groundbreaking albums yet.
