Santana at Budweiser Stage

Latin rock band Santana was formed by Mexican-American Carlos Santana in 1967, in San Francisco, California. The group came to prominence with a noted performance at Woodstock in 1969, and they released their self-titled debut album with Columbia later that year. In the five decades since the band's inception, all bar seven of their 24 studio albums have been certified Gold, Platinum or Multi-Platinum by the RIAA. Supernatural, the group's most successful studio album and their first with Artista, reached number one in several countries, earned 15-times platinum certification and sold nearly 27 million copies worldwide. As of 2010, the group has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards. The band has had four albums that reached number one in the Billboard charts (Abraxas, Santana III, Supernatural, Shaman), along with two number one singles ("Smooth", "Maria Maria"). Santana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
