Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana will accompany Narada and the orchestra for The Enchanted Forest as well as perform three of his own selections. Santana has sold more than 90 million records and reached over 100 million fans at concerts worldwide. To date, Santana has won ten GRAMMY® Awards, including a record-tying nine for 1999's Supernatural. In 1998, the group was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His newest CD, Guitar Heaven (featuring While My Guitar Gently Weeps), will be released on September 21, 2010.
