Classic Santana Album.

"No Santana album has been as good as the first three, but Zebop! comes close. This is one of Santana's best of the late 70's to 80's era. It's preceding albums, Inner Secrets and Marathon sounded too pop-like, without much percussion. (Just a Conga here and there). Zebop brings Santana back to it's latin roots, with awesome percussion, (Primera Invasion, Tales of Kilimanjaro, Hannibal), great guitar work, and great vocals. It's a look back at Santana's early days, while still sounding fresh (American Gypsy, which sounds like classic "old Santana.")

Overall, this is a great Santana album. Only Moonflower beats it in it's category. You won't be dissappointed.
