Salvador and Jose Santana, cousins, had also not had the opportunity to work a full project together before “Energia.” Jose Santana, who brings his own unique musical sensibilities to the table, commented that “Being part of this project is an incredible honor. We’re infusing our individual experiences and influences to create something that is truly magical and connects with people on a deep spiritual and uplifting level. We created this song to try our best to stimulate our friend David Richardson during his COVID-related coma. It was about sharing and sending love and light to a long-time friend that literally woke him and saved his life. The spirit we sowed into those lyrics and that energy caused my Uncle Carlos to also be moved and compelled to create something bigger than us and to set it free to help our community near and far feel that energy and let it heal and uplift your soul.”
“Energ�a” is set to make waves in the music industry, reigniting the world’s love affair with Santana’s distinctive sound. Fans and critics alike eagerly anticipate the release of this single, poised to become a timeless addition to the legendary Santana discography.
