Appearing on Santana's monumental 1970 album Abraxas and released as a successful single in early 1971, "Oye Como Va" became a defining track for the band and the Latin rock genre. Their innovative arrangement blended rock instrumentation, including fiery guitar and organ solos, with traditional Latin rhythms.

Originally composed by Tito Puente, Santana's 1970 version of "Oye Como Va" is built on an infectious groove, Gregg Rolie's smooth organ lines, and Carlos Santana's lyrical guitar phrasing. Its enduring popularity cements its status as a classic rock radio staple and a high point of Latin rock fusion.

SONG MEANING: The lyrics, originally by Tito Puente, are a simple and direct invitation to enjoy the music's rhythm. "Oye como va" means "Listen to how it goes" or "Hey, how's it going," and "Mi ritmo bueno pa' gozar" translates to "My rhythm is good for enjoying/partying." It's fundamentally about feeling the groove and having a good time dancing.
