Carlos Santana´s biography

Carlos Santana (born July 20, 1947) is a famous Mexican rock and roll guitarist, originally from Autlan De Navarro, Mexico. He became famous in the 1960s with a band named Santana.
Carlos Santana´s father was a mariachi violinist and young Carlos learned the violin originally, but switched to the guitar when he was eight years old. After a family move to Tijuana, Santana began playing in clubs and bars; he remained in Tijuana when his family moved to San Francisco, California, but soon joined them. In 1966, he helped found the Santana Blues Band, eventually shortened to simply Santana. The band started playing at the Fillmore West, where many of the great San Francisco bands began. Santana´s recording debut ocurred on The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper with Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield.
Soon signed to Columbia Records, Santana released a self- titled album, Santana, the group at this point consisting of Carlos Santana (guitar), Gregg Rolie (keyboards and vocals), David Brown (bass guitar), Michael Shrieve (drums), Jose Areas (percussion) and Michael Carabello (percussion). On the tour to support the album, the band played at Woodstock; the set was legendary and vastly increased Santana III (1971). The original Santana band the disbanded. Rolie went on to become a founding member of Journey.
Carlos Santana used the name and a series of changing musicians to continue to tour around the country, releasing several albums. During this period, Carlos took the name " Devadip", bestowed upon him by spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy. Many albums followed
in the 1970s and 80s, including collaborations with Willie Nelson, Herbie Hancock
, Booker T. made a guest appearance on Ottmar Liebert´s album "Solo para ti", on the songs "Reaching Out 2 U" and a cover of his own song, "Samba pa ti". He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Carlos Santana dramatically returned to popular consciousness in 1999 upon the release of Supernatural, which included collaborations with Rob Thomas, Eric Clapton and Lauryn Hill and won nine Grammy Awards.
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications sent out of a list of 150 songs that were recommended to be pulled from airplay. Santana´s "Evil Ways" was on the list.

Classroom activity

Two word verbs or phrasal verbs.

Verb plus preposition


What are phrasal verbs?


1.- A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb.


Example:
I ran into my teacher at the movies last night. RUN + INTO = MEET
He ran away when he was 15. RUN + AWAY = LEAVE HOME

2.- Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. An intransitive verb cannot be followed by an object.

Example:
He suddenly showed up. " SHOW UP" CANNOT TAKE AN OBJECT.

3.- Some phrasal verbs are transitive. A transitive verb can be followed by an object.
Example:
I made up the story. " STORY" IS THE OBJECT OF "MAKE UP"


4.- Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object is placed between the verb and the preposition.

Example:
I talked my mother into letting me borrow the car.
She looked the phone number up.


5.- Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. The object is placed after the verb and

the preposition.

Example:
I ran into an old friend yesterday.
They are looking into the problem.


6.- Some transitive phrasal verbs can take an object in both places.

Example:
I looked the number up in the phono book.
I looked up the number in the phone book.
