With their second album "Abraxas", Santana clearly surpassed the huge success of their debut. The formidable longplayer, which included hits such as "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va", made it to number one in the US charts in October 1970, where it remained for a total of six weeks. The most successful track on the album is undoubtedly the instrumental "Samba Pa Ti", which became one of the most played songs on German radio stations in the 1970s. "Abraxas" is still the perfect Latin rock album. Santana's self-confident sound, which expands and creates a distinctive new genre, is peppered with psychedelic accents and Afro-Latin grooves in 1970. "Abraxas" immediately captured the public's ear, spending six weeks at number 1 in the US and spawning the cosmic "Black Magic Woman" as a top 5 single, which has since become one of the most recognizable songs in history.
