Firstly ,,,I love Carlos Santana, his music, and all the wonderful musicians he has sponsered,played with and associated with.

But,,,

I must shed some light on "El Farol",,,,,

Dear reader please go to Youtube and review the beautiful tune. of Portuquese origin called "Papel Principal".

Do it while you're sitting down,,,,you will clearly see and hear the source for "El Farol"

Naughty ,naughty Carlos,,,,,!
