Some of his most popular work came in the 1990s, such as his Supernatural album which featured artists like Eric Clapton and Rob Thomas. Santana is renowned for his roots in Mexican mariachi music which he was exposed to from a young age through his father, before adopting the guitar and blues influences of the San Francisco music scene in the 1960s.
