It's all about the music and Carlos continues to create timeless melodies that will be eternally relevant.

I would like to thank all the fans who have embraced Corazon," Michael Vrionis, President of Universal Tone Management and one of the Executive Producers of Corazon said.

"'Corazon promotes and accentuates the same principles that are inside me. As Bob Marley said, 'Dance your troubles away.' Just as a dog shakes off the water, you have to shake off the weight of the soul from beginning to end.

This CD invites you to celebrate your own light. Don't be afraid. Take a look." - Carlos Santana
