Swapping the cosmic fire of his band work for a looser, rootsier feel, Santana dives into Tex-Mex sway, border-town boogie and breezy bolero moods, all threaded with his unmistakable tone — lyrical, sunlit and gently psychedelic at the edges.

“Havana Moon” remains a charming detour: intimate, melodic and full of easy-glow storytelling, showing another facet of Santana’s world without losing an ounce of its spirit.
