“From Wikipedia: “Santana was born to Jose Santana and Josefina Barragan in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico, and has two brothers – Antonio and Jorge – and four sisters – Laura, Irma, Leticia, and Maria. Carlos’ father played the violin,and was a part of a mariachi troupe. Young Carlos continued the family’s musical heritage, originally learning the violin before switching to the guitar when he was eight years old. After a family move to Tijuana Carlos performed occasionally with his fathers mariachi group on violin but grew to dislike it. Santana later played bass and guitar in strip clubs and bars in the Tijuana area and began his love of the American Blues, R&B, and Rock & Roll of B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Chuck Berry and Ray Charles. He was particularly impressed with a local blues guitar player, Javier Batiz. He remained in Tijuana when his family moved to San Francisco, California, but joined them at the age of thirteen.”"
