With Santana maintaining their successful stay on the jazz fusion spectrum as
well as the occasional R&B or rock charts with mixed results, they would release
their next album in 1975, their sixth overall, when they again credited themselves
with individual credits listed for each song. Despite few problems, Borboletta had
manage to become another successful venture for them as Carlos turned toward
a casual complement of high-pitched guitar work while the percussions pounded
away to whom they handled the making of this album so well and in good hands.
Backed by a track set beginning with Spring Manifestations/ Canto De Los Flores
that proceed with Life Is Anew, the harmonic serendipity charm of Practice What
You Preach, the delightful Give And Take, the instrumental landscape of Mirage,
Here And There and the African-style title track. Though Borboletta (which stand
for `butterfly' in Portuguese) did reached the Top 20 on the album charts and also
spent less time their, it would produce plenty of robust success, as Carlos leaves
us plenty of room for percussion, keyboard and saxophone solos to set the mood
(evident on Spring Manifestations), as well as Carlos' guitar (evident on Promise
Of A Fisherman) and vocals (evident on the funky guitar-led Give And Take) as it
gives Borboletta it's style and finesse. The album features guest appearances by
noted jazz vocalist Flora Purim, Airto Moriera, and master electric bassist Stanley
Clarke, which makes this session a well-deserved classic and a dazzling listening
experience that will give it some greater attention.
