With eyes closed and his fingers gently playing the guitar strings Santana called out: “Jakarta, Who are you? You are light and love…” 8.000 spectators replied with a huge roar, shouting: “Light and love..Light and love”. Wearing his distinctive panama hat and signature moustache, Santana hypnotized the crowd at the 7th Edition of AXIS Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival on its first evening on March 4th 2011. Black Magic Woman, Corazon Espinado and Oye Como Va were some of the classic numbers well known by old school Santana fans, while Maria-Maria and Smooth were favoured by younger generations among the Latin guitarist’s audience.
