Comments Samuel Rosa: “Recording the song ‘Saideira’ has been a fulfilling experience for me, and it has
been such an incredible honor working with the great master Carlos Santana. I could never imagine that
one day I would be sharing the stage with the guitar man who has influenced me with his solos, amazing
compositions and has been a fundamental part of my musical education.”
The first single from CORAZÓN entitled “La Flaca” was released late November and features Latin
Grammy-Award winning multi-platinum recording artist Juanes. Click here to listen now or visit
