Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana has teamed up with Mexican regional star Carín León to release the song “Velas”, now accompanied by an official video.
The single was released by Sony Music Entertainment US Latin LLC under exclusive license from Starfaith LLC.
The collaboration blends Santana’s signature guitar with León’s voice and a Mexican regional flavor — an interesting fusion of rock, Latin pop, and regional music.

For Santana this marks another move into Latin collaborations ("Latin", "fusion") while Carín León, already established in Mexican regional music, is showing his ambition to expand beyond his genre’s usual bounds.
This single may resonate both with global audiences (via Santana’s reach) and Latin‑region fans (via León).
