Oye Como Va is an incredible song that consists of instrumental builds, syncopated guitar rhythms, and a very catchy groove. The song was originally written by Tito Puente in 1962 and later Santana’s rendition became popular in the ’70s.
Santana’s arrangement of the song is a new style of Latin Rock that they’re known for. By adding electric guitar, a full drum kit, an organ, and removing the brass section found in Tito’s original recording, Santana creates a unique version of a very cool song. The guitar licks are rooted in blues-rock but still remain true to the song’s original arrangement.
