Shape Shifter is the twenty-second studio album (thirty-sixth album overall) by Santana. It was released on 14 May 2012. This album is the first from his new record label Starfaith Records. The album contains only one song with vocals ("Eres La Luz"). The track "Mr. Szabo" is a homage to the Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo, one of Carlos Santana's early idols, and features a similar rhytmical and harmonic structure to "Gypsy Queen", a Szabo hit from 1966 covered by Santana in 1970 as a medley with Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Woman. |
