Short story:
The Santana Blues Band is formed in San Francisco, California, USA.Full article:
Carlos Santana : I met the other guys in the band on the streets in San Francisco. We were just jamming around. In those days we were playing a lot of hard rock and blues and Cream-style things.

Carlos Santana : We were exclusively a blues band at first. I think the reason the change took place was that we'd go around Hippie Hill and Aquatic Park (in San Francisco) and they used to have congas and wine, and that's where we got the congas in the band.
