1974 Santana, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers ; mellow, sunny music
From "Samba pa ti" on Abraxas onwards, there would always be a Santana track which would perfectly fit the relaxed sensuous mood of a Mediterranean evening. Chris and Figs, from Portsmouth were into a more mellow sound anyway. They liked Stevie Wonder and some funky stuff, which wasn't for me, but the intelligent Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers, and Santana was music we could all enjoy, and they became the soundtrack of our holiday - of course a return to Istria!
Santana became an ever-present favourite. I can never get enough of Carlos' wonderful guitar solos, and it was great to finally see him live in Prague in 2010, full of energy and good vibes in a three hour set.
