Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 1990, 'Spirits Dancing in the Flesh' was Santana's follow-up to the commercially successful 'Blues for Salvador' (1987). At this point in his career, Santana was navigating the changing landscape of rock music while retaining his signature sound rooted in Latin influences. This album reflects both a continuation of his exploration of world music and a re-engagement with the classic elements that defined his early work.
