Amigos on LP

Carlos Santana and Company Return to a Dynamic Blend of R&B, Latin, Funk, and Rock: Amigos Aims for the Hips, Spreads Joy, and Includes the Brilliant 'Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)'

Mobile Fidelity's Reissue of the 1976 Effort Plays with Involving Energy, Presence, and Depth: 180g 33RPM LP Is Mastered at MoFi's California Studio and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies

Amigos has been beloved for decades by both long-time and recent Santana admirers, with multiple generations of fans drawn in by the record's contagious blend of R&B, Latin, rock, and funk elements. Coming off a series of albums that leaned into jazz fusion, the band returns to the more dynamic and concise approaches of it's earlier works without losing the sense of adventurousness, craftsmanship, and virtuosity that turned it into a juggernaut embraced by both the mainstream and experimentally minded communities. On the goldcertified Amigos, which includes the hit 'Let It Shine' and beloved meditation 'Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile),' the ensemble never seems to run short of zest or happiness.

Mastered at MoFi's California studio, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP presents the 1976 album in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic release. Part of the reissue label's Santana series, this collectible version features quiet surfaces and black backgrounds that help reveal the intricate details, distinguished tones, and cohesive interplay that cause Santana's music to take flight. The solidity and depth of the bass lines; the wash of the organ; the scope and carry of the vocals; the grip and weight of the low-end frequencies; and, possibly the most enticing traits, the textures of the acoustic guitars, numerous percussive devices, and then-modern synthesizers: all come across with tremendous presence and energy. Amigos? Si de hecho.
