Said Carlos Santana of the event: “It was a profound honor to share this evening with all my brothers and sisters who have come together to share their hearts’ music with us. It was especially moving for me to perform this show in Guadalajara, so close to where I was born and first experienced the joys of this life. I am thankful to everyone, all the artists, bands, crew, managers, SONY, Mexico Tourism Board, HBO and the staff at Arena VFG for making this one of the most memorable concerts in my lifetime. ”
