Santana (1969 album) Santana (1969 album) Santana is the debut studio album by American Latin rock band Santana. It was released on August 30, 1969.

The album was destined to be a major release, given a headstart by the band's performance at the Woodstock Festival earlier that August. "Jingo" was not very successful
