Caravanserai marked a bold departure for Santana, showcasing a more experimental and jazz-oriented sound that diverged from their earlier Latin rock hits. The album is a transcendent journey, blending atmospheric instrumentals with spiritual undertones and intricate arrangements. The minimal use of vocals and the album’s cohesive, meditative flow create a dreamlike experience, that vibes like nothing the band has done before. I’m not sure I realized until recently, but this may be my favorite Santana album.
1972 US pressing on Columbia and it smokes.
