Festivál is the eighth studio album by Santana, released in January 1977. It peaked number twenty seven in the Billboard 200 chart and number twenty nine in the R&B Albums chart. Carnaval" (Tom Coster, Carlos Santana) – 2:15. Let the Children Play" (Leon Patillo, Santana) – 3:28. Jugando" (José Areas, Santana) – 2:12. Give Me Love" (Pablo Téllez) – 4:29. Verão Vermelho" (Nonato Buzar) – 5:00. Let the Music Set You Free" (Coster, Patillo, David Rubinson, Santana) – 3:39.

Although the album went gold, the lack of a hit single hurt the album's commercial standing; its number 27 peak was the lowest yet for a Santana band album.

With frontman Carlos Santana they gained public attention by appearing at the Woodstock festival in 1969. The Latin influence has always been an important part in their music, although the band also created some blues rock and pop classics. 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

The year 1977 was another period of transition for guitarist Carlos Santana. He was going into the studio to craft a follow-up to Amigos, the highly successful 1976 return to Top 10 Billboard status after abandoning a four-year immersion in jazz fusion. None of the album's tracks show up in Santana's live performances and the album has become a forgotten part of the artist's discography, but Festival is worth seeking out if for no other reason than it was one of the last albums where the music, not star power and commercial concerns were the priority.
