With two discs to stretch out on, Viva Santana! offers a better and more varied career overview of the various Santana bands of the 1960s, 70s and 80s than the single-disc offerings Greatest Hits and The Best of Santana while stopping short of the fans-only appeal of the three-disc Dance of the Rainbow Serpent. All the great hits from the original sextet are included, such as "Black Magic Woman", "Evil Ways", "Oye Como Va" and "Soul Sacrifice". Later radio triumphs such … mehras "She's Not There", "Dance Sister Dance" and "Open Invitation" are here, too, as are the dazzling instrumentals "Incident at Neshabur" and "Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile)". Many of the cuts are live or previously unreleased, offering a treat for longtime fans and neophytes alike. --Daniel Durchholz weniger
