Oye Como Va

The history of <i>Oye Como Va</i> begins with the Cuban <b>Israel "Cachao" López</b>, who in 1957 created this danzón-mambo while playing with the orchestra of <b>Antonio Arcaño</b>. A few years later, in 1962, Puerto Rican <b>Tito Puente</b> gave it a new twist with fresh arrangements and lyrics. But it was in 1970 that <b>Santana</b> took the song to another level, fusing psychedelic rock and Latin rock. This version not only won over audiences, but also made its way onto the charts, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and standing out on other charts such as Easy Listening and R&B.
