After more than 50 years in the music business, there’s no denying Carlos Santana is a legend.

He was born in Mexico, where his father was a professional violinist who taught Carlos to play.

But Carlos Santana’s passion was with the guitar.

Santana released successful albums in the 1970s and early ’80s before his career stalled (viaBiography).

He went on to make a huge comeback in 1999 with the highly successful album “Supernatural.”

The song became the first No.

That same year, Santana won the Grammy for Album of the Year for “Supernatural.”

Now he will be bestowed with another honor, this time at the 34th Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards.

Other honorees this year includeSalma Hayek, Ron Rivera, and Ivy Queen.

“With gratitude, I am deeply honored to be receiving the 2021 Hispanic Heritage Legend Award.

It is a blessing to be a blessing.

We thank the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and PBS for this glorious honor.”

And he has no plans on slowing down anytime soon.
