Universal Light

The intimate and long-awaited autobiography of a legend. In 1967 in San Francisco, just a few weeks after the Summer of Love, a young Mexican guitarist took the stage at the Fillmore Auditorium and played a blistering solo that announced the arrival of a prodigious musical talent. Two years later - after he played a historic set at Woodstock - the world came to know the name Carlos Santana, his sensual and instantly recognizable guitar sound, and the legendary band that blended electric blues, psychedelic rock, Latin rhythms, and modern jazz, and that still bears his name.

En 1967 en el Auditorio Fillmore de San Francisco, un joven guitarrista tocaba un solo arrasador que anunciaba la llegada de un prodigioso talento. Dos años después tocaba una histórica función en Woodstock, y el mundo conoció a Carlos Santana. El Tono Universal es una atrapante historia sobre la autodeterminación musical y el autodescubrimiento. Describe la trayectoria de Santana desde los primeros días de su adolescencia como músico en Tijuana y el nacimiento de su característico sonido de guitarra; su papel como esposo, padre y estrella del rock; y la grabación de algunos de los álbumes de rock más influyentes de la historia.

Robert Benjamin Lewis (1802 - 1858) was an African American and Native American author, inventor, and entrepreneur. In the ethnological work Light and Truth, Lewis claims that Adam and Eve were people of color, as were the Egyptians and many great figures of the ancient world, including Julius Caesar and Plato. Denouncing notions of white superiority, he asserts that all humans have a common origin, and pointed to a shared cultural history between Africans and Native Americans.
