From the supergroup Ecram (or was it Dyslexia Lures KO? ). Eirc was Dog, I thought...

That's just brilliant, the segue from Papa Wemba to Santana's Jingo. I am suddenly filled with expectant delight. What's next? Is this a mini set trio? I can't even begin to posit the next song
Classic. Can never tire of hearing this. Reminds me of so many weddings 
Sometimes I remember that in 1999 the Powers That Be hitched Mr. Santana here to Matchbox 20, produced maybe one of the worst turds ever to be broadcast 1 billion times, and then we were all just cool with it
I had a friend that called him Satana for close to a year after being introduced to his music. We were all gutted when someone corrected him.

One of the best album covers. Paper tickets for some of the shows had the album cover on the stub.

It has that effect, given that, there is a need to accept Santana as an experience.

This continues to age very, very well. Love the Leslie-powered organ!
The intro totally reminds me of Stevie Wonder's Another Star
perfect for getting Dave Mathews out of my head
Oh chalk and cheese! This coming after Ry Cooder? Like bleach after a fine red wine - Santana kills all known germs - Dead! (That's one for the British 40-somethings)
The Lion looks kind of nosey parker.

Geez, what absolutely fabulous music. Fits into my 'classical music' category. To me, this is timeless and elemental.

just so you know what this album is for me; 16th B-day, friends 'kidnapped' me by throwing a blanket over my head and shuffling out the door into the station wagon. blanket off- presented me with this fantastic newly released album, we all went to the drive in and sat in horror at Night of the Living Dead....then a slumber party. one of the best birthdays ever....and that's a lot of birthdays! Plus Santana played at my high school (Los Altos High) before he was a superstar. a great time and place to be!

Sounds like you've just mounted a hobbyhorse. Jingoism, at least in the UK, is used exclusively to refer to nationalist zealots and bellicose patriots. Rabid patriotism is not a characteristic of left-wing movements. It would simply make no sense to refer to, say, Noam Chomsky or Michael Moore (quit hissing at the back there!) as 'jingoists'. You'll have to dig out a more appropriate insult, I'm afraid.

Disliking Santana's music does not automatically make someone "closed to alternate cultural values". It is likely that there are a certain percentage of people who resist music from other cultures, but probably not so much with Carlos' music - at least not here. I think a lot of folks are just tired of hearing his tunes for all these years.

A piece of me died while watching this year's New Years festivities in Times Square (on TV).... Carlos onstage with Justin Bieber was more than I could process. o_O

After reading all the negative comments on this song below, I have to wonder if it's a cultural thing. Perhaps those of us who have Latin American or African roots appreciate Santana's music more because it stems from our own ancestral rhythmic and musical "roots"?

Repetitive and dull.

Your definition is not quite accurate: the Oxford English Dictionary defines "jingoism" as "extreme patriotism in the form of aggressive foreign policy". The English phrase "by jingo" goes back to the 17th Century as a polite form of "by Jesus".

Bring back gooood memories of 1976-78 timeframe when riding and sweating hard with the most beloved one in a dark room full of Santana music and the delightful fragrance of homegrown weeds was the utmost funny occupation during hot summer afternoons.
I'm with you. First heard this song sitting in a hotel bar in Cochabama Bolivia. It was an OMG moment - rock and roll with Latin sounds!
