Had Carlos finally found the music that would make his Angels real? About the Author: Michael Mahin has loved music since his grandmother gave him his first piano lesson at the age of five.
There were a lot of bands in San Francisco but none of them sounded like this.
He took the soul of the Blues, the brains of Jazz, and the energy of Rock and Roll, and added the slow heat of Afro-Cuban drums and the cilantro-scented sway of the music he\'d grown up with in Mexico.
Then he picked up la guitarra .
Carlos tried el clarinete and el viol n , but there were no angels.
So he started playing music.
Carlos wanted to make Angels real, too.
It was a sound that filled the world with magic and love and feeling and healing--a sound that made Angels real.
Carlos Santana loved to listen to his father play el viol n .
