Santana reunion on hold as solo project moves on

Printable version It looks like the album that Carlos Santana discussed reuniting the original Santana members may be on the back burner as he moves forward with his new multi-star set, Corazón.

The album, which will be out in early 2014 on RCA/Sony, includes guest performances from artists of the Latin world including Chocquibtown (Colombia), Lila Downs (Mexico), Gloria Estefan (Cuba), Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (Argentina), Juanes (Colombia), Miguel (USA), Niña Pastori (Spain), Samuel Rosa of Skank (Brazil), Soledad (Argentina), Diego Torres (Argentina), Ziggy Marley (Jamaica) and Romeo Santos (Dominican Republic).

To promote the new album, Santana will appear in Guadalajara, Mexico on December 14 at the Arena AFG for Corazón, Live in Mexico: Live It to Believe It. All of the guest stars on the album will be on hand to perform except for Marley and Santos.

In addition, HBO Latino and HBO Latin America will be filming the concert which will air on the stations in the spring and will be later released on DVD. A documentary is being shot at the same time on the making of the event.

Corazón is currently still being recorded in Las Vegas under the guidance of producer Lester Mendez. More details, including a track listing and release date, will be announced at a future date.
