Santana feat. The Product G&B, 1999, from *Supernatural*. Solo by *Carlos Santana*.

A number-one single where the guitar answers the vocal and takes a warm, melodic solo.

Maria Maria, with The Product G&B, was a number-one single where Carlos Santana's guitar answers the vocal and takes a warm, melodic solo. Playing his PRS Santana, he uses a smooth, sustained tone and expressive bends, fitting his lines neatly into the song's hip-hop and R&B groove. The solo is concise but emotionally rich, adding a Latin touch to the modern production. Listen for how the guitar echoes the vocal melody, almost like a response in a conversation, and how Santana's phrasing stays relaxed and lyrical even as the song's rhythm pushes forward.

Maria Maria by Santana feat. The Product G&B is featured in our Latin Rock (#18) list. The solo is played by Carlos Santana and the song was released in 1999.
