-[playing "Oye Cómo Va"]
-Not props and illusions.

5
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:34,618
Magic is when you command the elements
to capture people's hearts.

fear has to go away.

12
00:01:34,470 --> 00:01:37,014
And all you have is delight.

13
00:01:44,271 --> 00:01:46,357
That's real "magic" magic.

They call it a force of nature.

25
00:02:49,003 --> 00:02:55,134
They create a different kind of
a transformation of molecular structure

26

My father, when he came to Tijuana,
it was just mainly mariachi,

142
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:20,722
because that's the music
that American tourists want to hear.

143

everything was mechanical for me.

My father taught me how to read
and how to play mariachi music.

150

Mariachi's a combination of classical,
country and western, Mexican folk.

and we don't have any money."

338
00:24:23,004 --> 00:24:26,048
There was something very gentle.

339
00:24:26,591 --> 00:24:29,427
You wouldn't think that even if he had
the money, he would climb in.

340
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:32,096
Some guys, you would say,
"If they had $1000 in their pocket,

341
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:34,640
they'd still try to sneak in,
for the game of sneaking in."

342
00:24:34,724 --> 00:24:37,059
-[man] Carlos was not that kind of guy.
-Carlos was not, uh--

343
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:39,395
He wasn't then.
I don't think he ever will be.

344
00:24:41,522 --> 00:24:43,900
[Carlos] Michael Bloomfield's guitar
was over there.

345
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:45,026
He was playing keyboards.

346
00:24:45,902 --> 00:24:50,573
Stanley says, "Excuse me.
There's a Mexican, skinny dude over there.

347
00:24:50,656 --> 00:24:53,159
He plays the guitar really good.
You let him play?"

348
00:24:53,743 --> 00:24:56,996
So he looked at me, and he goes,
"Yeah, man. Come on. Come on up, man.

349
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:00,541
Go ahead, come on up.
Here's my guitar, grab it," you know?

350
00:25:00,625 --> 00:25:02,001
And I jumped on it.

351
00:25:03,252 --> 00:25:06,839
And when I finish,
Bill Graham came to me, and he says:

352
00:25:07,965 --> 00:25:11,052
"That's pretty good, kid.
You got a band?" You know?

353
00:25:11,135 --> 00:25:14,347
"Yeah." He says, "What's the name?"
I go, "We don't have a name."

354
00:25:14,430 --> 00:25:18,476
He goes, "Okay,
so I'm gonna book you with your band,

355
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,645
and you're gonna open up for The Who.

356
00:25:21,187 --> 00:25:25,608
And you're gonna open up
for Steve Miller and Howlin' Wolf."

357
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:29,445
And I'm like, "Dang, okay."

358
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:31,906
[band playing "Se a Cabo"]

359
00:25:41,749 --> 00:25:46,921
Bill Graham was between
the real, bona fide god-bucket hippies

360
00:25:47,004 --> 00:25:48,339
and Dick Clark.

361
00:25:48,422 --> 00:25:51,842
That's who Bill Graham was like.
A curator.

362
00:25:51,926 --> 00:25:55,304
Somebody who takes a painting
from the street that's badass,

363
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:58,683
and now you put it at the Louvre,
you put it in the Museum of Fine Art.

364
00:26:01,686 --> 00:26:06,148
Every time a band would cancel
at the Fillmore West, he would call us.

365
00:26:07,024 --> 00:26:12,280
Santana was the first and only band
at the Fillmore to headline the Fillmore

366
00:26:12,363 --> 00:26:15,032
without having a record
or a record contract.

367
00:26:21,622 --> 00:26:24,208
It was in the Sunday newspaper,
in the pink section,

368
00:26:24,292 --> 00:26:26,085
which is, like, bands to come.

369
00:26:26,168 --> 00:26:29,714
There was 20 bands from San Francisco,
and we were on top.

370
00:26:29,797 --> 00:26:35,052
They said, "This is the band
that is destined to go really far."

371
00:26:41,475 --> 00:26:44,979
-[man] Who do you like?
-Santana Blues Band. I just dug them.

372
00:26:46,897 --> 00:26:49,317
It was Bill Graham who saw it.

373
00:26:50,484 --> 00:26:52,945
You talk about the grand design,
the big picture.

374
00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:56,240
He always told me he liked the band,
but he wanted me.

375
00:26:57,491 --> 00:26:58,868
He's the one that says:

376
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:02,496
"You're a perfect child
of B.B. King and Tito Puente,

377
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:03,998
and that's the music I love."

378
00:27:06,834 --> 00:27:08,919
"Santana is my child."

379
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:11,339
And he adopted us like that.

380
00:27:12,757 --> 00:27:17,928
Irma comes home one day,
she goes, "Mom, Mom, I just saw this bus,

381
00:27:18,012 --> 00:27:22,892
and it said Santana Blues,"
or something like that, or maybe on a...

382
00:27:23,851 --> 00:27:26,270
We went, "Oh, my God, where is he?
I wonder where he's at."

383
00:27:26,354 --> 00:27:29,815
So that's how, little by little,
we started to hear about him.

384
00:27:30,816 --> 00:27:34,070
Every time we'd go to the Fillmore West
to see him play,

385
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:36,614
first we would only have to line up
for a block,

386
00:27:36,697 --> 00:27:40,618
then we had to line three blocks,
then we'd have to go all the way around.

387
00:27:40,701 --> 00:27:43,954
And we're going, "What?
We're standing in line to see him play."

388
00:27:49,794 --> 00:27:52,546
[Carlos] Somehow my mom and dad
went to the Fillmore,

389
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,256
which was unthinkable.

390
00:27:54,965 --> 00:27:59,136
We're in between Chicago and Janis Joplin
and Big Brother & the Holding Company.

391
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:04,058
My dad has his tie,
shirt, sport coat, his hat.

392
00:28:04,558 --> 00:28:07,645
And my mom's in nylons,
whatever, at the Fillmore.

393
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:11,190
So I go, "There's no seats, Mom.
We have to sit on the floor."

394
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:13,150
We sat on the floor. We were waiting.

395
00:28:13,776 --> 00:28:15,736
In front of us,
there were these hippie guys,

396
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:18,114
and they were passing a joint.

397
00:28:18,906 --> 00:28:22,076
And my mom and Dad then smoked,
and my mom says:

398
00:28:22,827 --> 00:28:23,828
[speaks in Spanish]

399
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:25,788
[in English]
"Look. They can't afford cigarettes.

400
00:28:25,871 --> 00:28:27,706
They're passing one little cigarette."

401
00:28:27,790 --> 00:28:29,041
[all laughing]

402
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:33,379
So Dad opens his box
and he's offering everybody cigarettes.

403
00:28:35,381 --> 00:28:38,509
"No, Mama, it's marijuana,"
and they go, "Oh, okay."

404
00:28:38,592 --> 00:28:40,928
-[song ends]
-[crowd cheering and applauding]

405
00:28:41,011 --> 00:28:42,012
Thank you.

406
00:28:42,096 --> 00:28:45,099
[playing "In a Silent Way"]

407
00:28:56,277 --> 00:28:59,780
[Maria] Remember when
the man landed in the moon, July 20th?

408
00:29:00,281 --> 00:29:01,866
There was this big thing on TV,

409
00:29:01,949 --> 00:29:04,034
and I looked at Mom,
and my mom started crying.

410
00:29:04,118 --> 00:29:07,246
And I'm going, "Mom,
crying about the man landing in the moon?"

411
00:29:08,205 --> 00:29:11,625
She goes, "No, I'm crying
'cause it's Carlos's birthday today."

412
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:13,878
"Oh, okay."

413
00:29:13,961 --> 00:29:18,924
So as a mom,
you know, you focus on your kids,

414
00:29:19,008 --> 00:29:22,094
and we're going like,
"Wow, this is the moon thing."

415
00:29:22,178 --> 00:29:26,140
But we were so used to him
being in his own world

416
00:29:26,223 --> 00:29:30,853
that we were kind of used to, like,
used to having Dad always working.

417
00:29:31,479 --> 00:29:37,651
But we never really thought about Mom
as far as missing her son, right?

418
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:41,155
[Carlos] I know my mom was suffering

419
00:29:41,238 --> 00:29:44,992
'cause she didn't know where I was
and who I was with or what I was doing.

420
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:47,536
But I had to.

421
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,623
I had to give birth to Santana
and do my own thing

422
00:29:50,706 --> 00:29:54,793
and just go out in the streets
and go get it, you know.

423
00:29:58,047 --> 00:30:01,050
["I Need Love" playing over speakers]

424
00:30:19,276 --> 00:30:21,278
[playing smooth melody]

425
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:26,075
[woman]
I'm gonna introduce a gentleman now

426
00:30:26,158 --> 00:30:28,327
who is very significant
in the record business.

427
00:30:28,911 --> 00:30:29,954
With Columbia Records,

428
00:30:30,037 --> 00:30:33,374
he played a great part
in the popularity of Janis Joplin,

429
00:30:33,457 --> 00:30:34,792
Blood, Sweat & Tears.

430
00:30:35,292 --> 00:30:36,961
Mr. Clive Davis.

431
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:40,339
[Clive]
Basic quality you look for is originality.

432
00:30:41,257 --> 00:30:43,217
People who are setting new trends

433
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:47,179
and perhaps taking society,
uh, step-by-step further,

434
00:30:47,263 --> 00:30:50,349
because music has certainly
played a major role

435
00:30:50,432 --> 00:30:53,936
in the evolution of thought
in the last 20 years.

436
00:30:56,438 --> 00:30:58,107
[man] I heard that in 1969,

437
00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:01,569
you blew an audition
for Atlantic Records on purpose.

438
00:31:01,652 --> 00:31:02,486
[Carlos] Right.

439
00:31:02,570 --> 00:31:05,072
[man]
Because you wanted to work for Columbia.

440
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:06,073
[Carlos] With Columbia.

441
00:31:06,156 --> 00:31:09,577
[man] With Columbia, home of Miles Davis
and Bob Dylan. Is that true?

442
00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:11,120
That's absolutely true.

443
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:14,582
[man] Weren't you nervous
about purposely blowing an audition?

444
00:31:14,665 --> 00:31:17,918
No, see,
because like Nirvana or Metallica,

445
00:31:18,002 --> 00:31:20,796
when you have confidence
in what you're doing,

446
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:22,047
they will come to you.

447
00:31:25,801 --> 00:31:28,721
[Clive]
The freshness of it, the heat of it,

448
00:31:28,804 --> 00:31:33,017
and I just said on the spot,
"This is for me, for Columbia."

449
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:35,436
And so I signed Santana.

450
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,737
[Carlos] We got a call
that Bill Graham wanted to see us,

451
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:47,531
and he says,
"There's gonna be this festival.

452
00:31:47,615 --> 00:31:50,034
It's gonna be the festival of festivals."

453
00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:54,955
We didn't have an album out yet.
We just finished recording it.

454
00:31:56,874 --> 00:31:59,710
And he says,
"I told them I would only help them

455
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:01,754
if they put you in this festival.

456
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:06,675
I arranged it
so you have this festival in Phoenix,

457
00:32:07,259 --> 00:32:11,639
and then you have this festival in Dallas,
and then in Atlantic City.

458
00:32:11,722 --> 00:32:15,517
You're gonna go from 2000, to 5000,

459
00:32:15,601 --> 00:32:19,730
to 15,000, to 30,000,
to 60,000, to 90,000,

460
00:32:19,813 --> 00:32:21,273
then there's gonna be Woodstock.

461
00:32:22,858 --> 00:32:25,819
So you get used to a big crowd."

462
00:32:25,903 --> 00:32:29,114
So he actually trained us like a boxer.

463
00:32:30,532 --> 00:32:33,410
And he says, "I want you to know
that after this festival,

464
00:32:33,494 --> 00:32:35,704
you're never gonna be the same person.

465
00:32:36,747 --> 00:32:39,708
Go home right now, look in the mirror,
and this is one person,

466
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:42,670
but after Woodstock,
this person will be no more."

467
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:47,841
[helicopter whirring]

468
00:32:49,385 --> 00:32:51,345
[Carlos]
It started off being in the helicopter.

469
00:32:58,936 --> 00:33:01,480
Looking out and...
[mimics helicopter whirring] You know?

470
00:33:01,563 --> 00:33:04,650
And I walked out,
and I see Bill over there,

471
00:33:04,733 --> 00:33:07,277
and then I see Jerry Garcia.

472
00:33:07,361 --> 00:33:09,571
And I was like,
"Oh, that's comforting." You know?

473
00:33:09,655 --> 00:33:11,573
Like, "Here's Jerry Garcia. Great."
You know?

474
00:33:12,074 --> 00:33:14,076
"Hey, how you doing?"
"Hey, how you doing?"

475
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:16,078
"What time you guys gonna play?"

476
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:19,998
Uh, he says, "We're gonna go on,
like, two bands after you guys."

477
00:33:20,082 --> 00:33:23,293
He says,
"Well, you better get comfortable."

478
00:33:23,377 --> 00:33:26,672
They said we're not going on
till around 12:00 at night.

479
00:33:26,755 --> 00:33:28,340
So, you know, just get comfortable."

480
00:33:28,424 --> 00:33:32,511
And so I'm watching all this ocean--
Multitude of flesh.

481
00:33:32,594 --> 00:33:34,596
[cheering]

482
00:33:37,057 --> 00:33:39,643
And Jerry Garcia says, "And by the way..."

483
00:33:40,894 --> 00:33:41,895
Doop.

484
00:33:41,979 --> 00:33:43,313
And I was like, "Oh."

485
00:33:44,189 --> 00:33:47,985
I said,
"Two, 3:00 in the morning. It's like...

486
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:51,488
Twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

487
00:33:51,572 --> 00:33:55,409
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna have six, seven--
Seven, eight times, like--

488
00:33:55,492 --> 00:34:00,998
Like, a little room, you know,
to go through what I need to go through,

489
00:34:01,081 --> 00:34:04,334
and then when I'm landing,
I'm gonna be perfect to play."

490
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:07,755
Once you get past the amoeba state.

491
00:34:10,591 --> 00:34:15,179
So I took it, and the next thing I know,
I hear somebody says...

492
00:34:15,262 --> 00:34:17,598
[man on PA]
Would you welcome, please, Santana.

493
00:34:17,681 --> 00:34:19,808
[crowd cheering]

494
00:34:19,892 --> 00:34:21,059
And I'm like...

495
00:34:22,978 --> 00:34:23,896
"Oh...

496
00:34:25,981 --> 00:34:27,065
What?"

497
00:34:27,149 --> 00:34:29,151
[crowd cheering]

00:49:29,425 --> 00:49:31,928
to maybe some
of the musicians in the band,

668
00:49:32,011 --> 00:49:36,641
because they wanted to retain
the soul direction of Santana,

669
00:49:36,724 --> 00:49:39,686
and I don't think I did as much.

670
00:49:51,072 --> 00:49:54,951
And I said, "I'm gonna cut my hair
and dress all in white

671
00:49:55,034 --> 00:49:57,537
and go this other kind of way."

672
00:50:00,289 --> 00:50:02,750
And so I embraced a spiritual path

673
00:50:02,834 --> 00:50:08,715
and a spiritual teacher
named Sri Chinmoy from '72 to '82.

674

Me and Deborah, we went in it.

675

We're actually living it 24 hours a day.

677
00:50:19,892 --> 00:50:23,730
At that time, we used to call it
the fragrance of the soul.

For my disciples, feel the necessity...

681
00:50:46,753 --> 00:50:51,966
They become living Gods themselves.

[Carlos] Just basically no meat,
no alcohol, no weed, no--

683

kind of existence,

684

685
00:51:10,193 --> 00:51:11,486
[Maria] My mom always said:

686
00:51:11,569 --> 00:51:14,113
"He challenges me on my faith sometimes.

687

And he makes me think
about the way I think."

689
00:51:21,537 --> 00:51:24,665
it was unbelievable, unbelievable.

another religion...

it's not comfortable for her,

"Oh, he visits all these religions."

694

ayahuasca, and peyote,"

Far in is when you're in the center of it.

708
00:52:44,662 --> 00:52:47,039
At this point, most people,
they either tell me

Mexicans don't do that."

712
00:52:54,922 --> 00:52:57,425
They told me that for such a long time,
and I was like:

713
00:52:57,508 --> 00:53:00,636

I'm a multidimensional Mexican.

when I was young
and started getting into music.

865
01:04:34,121 --> 01:04:35,872
And so did Carlos, he started with me

866
01:04:35,956 --> 01:04:39,668
and then he didn't want to play the violin
anymore and he switched to the guitar.

1007

to ride this immense wave.

1008
01:13:58,434 --> 01:13:59,978
And for a long time, man...

1009
01:14:00,687 --> 01:14:04,899
stuff that happened when I was a child,
you know, it stays with you.

1010
01:14:07,819 --> 01:14:09,320
This is not entertainment.

1011
01:14:09,404 --> 01:14:12,282
It's not sensationalism,
gossip, and scandalous.

1012
01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:16,077
I wouldn't walk into a room and say:

1013
01:14:16,161 --> 01:14:19,581
"Hi, I'm the guy who was molested,"
and wear it like a badge of honor.

1014
01:14:21,499 --> 01:14:23,751
But some things, people need to know, man,

1015
01:14:23,835 --> 01:14:26,796
because they're wrestling with it
themselves.

1016
01:14:28,673 --> 01:14:30,884
From '57 to, like, '59,

1017
01:14:30,967 --> 01:14:34,345
there was one American guy
who started molesting me.

1018
01:14:38,725 --> 01:14:41,269
And the Rolling Stone magazine,
when it came out...

1019
01:14:42,645 --> 01:14:44,189
all the people who read it,

1020
01:14:45,940 --> 01:14:47,650
they said, "It happened to me,

1021
01:14:47,734 --> 01:14:50,820
and I thank Carlos
for having the courage to say it."

1022
01:14:56,576 --> 01:14:58,578
My mom, she heard from someone

1023
01:14:58,661 --> 01:15:00,538
that he molested other kids
in the neighborhood,

1024
01:15:00,622 --> 01:15:01,915
so she confronted me.

1025
01:15:03,833 --> 01:15:06,753
She's just like,
"Man did this, this, and this, that?"

1026
01:15:08,129 --> 01:15:10,757
But she didn't have the wisdom
and I didn't have the wisdom,

1027
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,508
so I was like, "No."

1028
01:15:15,470 --> 01:15:18,139
I had a lot of anger towards my mom
for the longest time.

1029
01:15:18,223 --> 01:15:20,475
As much as I love her, man,
I had a lot of anger.

1030
01:15:20,558 --> 01:15:23,269
But like I said,
she didn't have the skills or tools

1031
01:15:23,353 --> 01:15:26,856
to pull someone aside
and say, "I love you."

1032
01:15:29,943 --> 01:15:33,238
I have to transcend thinking like a victim

1033
01:15:33,321 --> 01:15:36,658
or thinking with anger
or sending this guy to hell every day...

1034
01:15:38,117 --> 01:15:41,454
and say, "I am not what happened to me.

1035
01:15:42,163 --> 01:15:44,207
I am that I am. I am the light.

1036
01:15:48,878 --> 01:15:51,381
I am not the body. I am free."

1037
01:15:59,847 --> 01:16:03,810
At the peak of Supernatural,
I returned to Ayutla, Jalisco.

1038
01:16:03,893 --> 01:16:07,730
And-- And something just pulled my coat--
"Go over there."

1039

This is a beautiful painting
of La Virgen de Guadalupe.

1040
01:16:12,026 --> 01:16:13,778
And I got down on my knees,

1041
01:16:14,487 --> 01:16:16,072
and, uh, I looked at her,

1042
01:16:16,155 --> 01:16:18,658
I lit up a candle,
and I was looking at her.

1043
01:16:18,741 --> 01:16:21,536
I kept looking at her,
and she kept looking at me,

1044
01:16:21,619 --> 01:16:24,080
and then I heard this voice that said:

1045
01:16:25,915 --> 01:16:27,583
"I am so proud of you."

1046
01:16:29,669 --> 01:16:32,297
And, you know, my whole body
went like a electric shock,

1047
01:16:32,380 --> 01:16:34,090
like, "Oh, my God, she's talking to me."

1048
01:16:34,173 --> 01:16:35,008
And she says:

1049
01:16:35,091 --> 01:16:37,260

1050

[in English] "I am so proud of you."

1051
01:16:39,304 --> 01:16:41,639
And it stayed with me.

It's very simple. It's not complicated.

1076

When it becomes an arrangement
and one person's not happy,

then you're not making spiritual traction.
