With CARLOS, Valdez creates an intimate, rich documentary about a man whose sound casts a spell on fans who love —as one of Santana’s famous titles says— “how his rhythm goes.”  

Premiering earlier this year at the Tribeca Festival, CARLOS combines new interviews with Santana and his family; extraordinary, never-before-seen archival footage, including home videos recorded by Santana himself; concert footage; behind-the-scenes moments; interviews; and more.

For more than five decades - from Santana’s earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion outfit in San Francisco - Carlos Santana has been the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres and generational, cultural, and geographical boundaries.

Among many other distinctions, Carlos Santana has been cited by Rolling Stone as No. 15 on their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”; and has joined the Rolling Stones as one of only two bands to have an album reach the Top 10 in every decade since the 1960s.
