He doesnt’t sing his songs, Rob Thomas sings them

Long before the category now known as world music was named, Santana's ever evolving sound has always been ahead of its time in its universal appeal, and today registers as ideally in sync with the 21st century's pan cultural landscape. And, with a dedication to humanitarian outreach and social activism that parallels his lifelong relationship with music, Carlos Santana is as much an exemplary world citizen as a global music icon.
As profound as his artistic legacy is Carlos' dedication to humanitarian work. His Milagro Foundation, originally established by Carlos and Deborah Santana in 1998, has granted more than three million dollars to non-profit programs supporting underserved children and youth in the areas of arts, education and health. Milagro means miracle, and the image of children as divine miracles of light and hope as gifts to our lives is the inspiration behind its name.
