Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through The Hits

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 21, 2011 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Back by popular demand, Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits returns to The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for three encore performances this November. Carlos Santana and his band bring their thrilling and energetic show back to Hard Rock's legendary stage at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11 through Sunday, Nov. 13. Tickets go on sale Saturday, Sept. 24 at noon.

After inspiring and wowing audiences at The Joint during the show's two-year residency, Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits returns for three nights only. As the first rock 'n' roll resident show in Las Vegas, Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits features a fluid set list including classics "Oye Como Va," "Black Magic Woman," "Evil Ways," and "Maria Maria." A favorite among fans and critics alike, each show explores a unique angle on the band's repertoire to create an unparalleled experience for the audience. The Los Angeles Times said that Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits   "proves what an unusual rock icon Carlos Santana is" and highlighted the "deeply energetic" performances of his long-time band members, who routinely have audience members dancing in the aisles.

Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits was inspired by the band's 1999 release, Supernatural, that was destined to be the biggest of their career.  Supernatural, a long-overdue reunion between producers Carlos Santana and Clive Davis, brought fresh collaborations with Cee-Lo, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Eric Clapton, Everlast, Lauryn Hill, Mexican supergroup Mana, Dave Matthews and bandmate Carter Beauford, producers the Dust Brothers, KC Porter, Wyclef Jean and others.  The album includes two RIAA platinum No. 1 hits â€" "Smooth" featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty and "Maria Maria," produced by Wyclef Jean â€" the first Hot 100 No. 1 hits of Santana's career.  The singles spent a cumulative half-year at No. 1 and paved the way for the album to amass chart honors and generate Grammy Awards® beyond anyone's expectations. 

Tickets, starting at $55.00 (plus applicable service fees), will be available Saturday at noon at the Hard Rock Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, online at Ticketmaster.com or charge-by-phone at 800.745.3000.
