Amigos has been beloved for decades by both long-time and recent Santana admirers, with multiple generations of fans drawn in by the record's contagious blend of R&B, Latin, rock, and funk elements
As well as its immense accessibility
Coming off a series of albums that heavily leaned into jazz fusion, the band returns to the more dynamic and concise approaches of its earlier works without losing the sense of adventurousness, craftsmanship, and virtuosity that turned it into a juggernaut embraced by both the mainstream and experimentally minded communities
Mastered at Mobile Fidelity's in-house studio in California, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP of Amigos presents the 1976 album in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic release
Part of the reissue label's Santana series, this collectible version features quiet surfaces and black backgrounds that help reveal the intricate details, distinguished tones, and cohesive interplay that cause Santana's music to take flight
The enhanced aural perspectives extend not only to Carlos Santana's intoxicating fills and solos, but to the rich tapestry of the rhythmic, melodic, and vocal elements that help Amigos feel as fresh today as it did several decades ago
This LP shines a beaming light on the surrounding musicians that simultaneously feed off and inspire their bandleader
The solidity and depth of the bass lines; the wash of the organ; the scope and carry of the vocals; the grip and weight of the low-end frequencies; and, possibly the most enticing traits, the textures of the acoustic guitars, numerous percussive devices, and then-modern synthesizers: all come across with tremendous presence and energy
