Ten time Grammy-winning rocker Carlos Santana and his band Santana will release their first Latin music album next month.
Santana performed many of the songs from the forthcoming opus, Corazon, at a concert in Guadalajara, Mexico last December. The show featured many of the album's guests in a celebration of their Latin music heritage.
The concert, Corazon, Live From Mexico: Live It To Believe It, will be released on DVD later this year.
Guests on the album include ChocQuibtown, Lila Downs, Gloria Estefan, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Juanes, Ziggy Marley, Miguel, Nina Pastori, Pitbull, Samuel Rosa of Skank, Cindy Blackman Santana, Romeo Santos, Wayne Shorter, Soledad, and Diego Torres.
Corazon, the concert and album, is a project that brings Santana back to his birthplace, the city of Autlan, just south of Guadalajara.
The album celebrates Santana's love of his musical heritage as well as showcasing the guitarist's influence on Latin music and today's generation of Latin stars.
Corazon was recorded in Las Vegas with producer Lester Mendez and will be released on May 5.
