Santana Extends Long-Running Las Vegas Residency; Carlos Appearing on TalkShopLive to Promote New Album, ‘Sentient’

Carlos Santana is on the mend after breaking bones in his left hand in a recent fall at his home in Hawaii. The injury forced the guitar legend to postpone a series of Las Vegas residency shows at the House of Blues in January and February, but, thankfully, Santana and his namesake band are set to return to performing in April.
