Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947), known simply as Carlos Santana or Santana, is a Grammy Award-winning Mexican-born American Latin rock musician and guitarist.
He became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, the Santana Blues Band, going mostly under the title "Santana," which created a highly successful blend of salsa, rock, blues, and jazz fusion. Their sound featured his often high-pitched and distorted guitar lines set against Latin American instrumentation such as timbales and congas. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades, and experienced a sudden resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s.
Over his career he has sold an estimated 80 million albums worldwide.

George "Buddy" Guy (born July 30, 1936) is an American blues and rock guitarist and singer. Known as an inspiration to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and other 1960s blues and rock legends, Guy is considered an important exponent of Chicago blues. He is the father of female rapper Shawnna.
Guy is known for his showmanship; for example, he plays his guitar with drumsticks, or strolls into the audience while jamming and trailing a long guitar cord.
Born in Lettsworth, Louisiana, Guy grew up in Louisiana where he learned to play guitar at a womens trucker convention[citation needed]. In the early '50s he began performing with bands in Baton Rouge. Soon after moving to Chicago in 1957, Guy fell under the influence of Muddy Waters. In 1958, a competition with West Side guitarists Magic Sam and Otis Rush gave Guy a record contract. Soon afterwards he recorded for the Cobra label. He recorded sessions with Junior Wells for Delmark Records under the pseudonym Friendly Chap in 1965 and 1966.

It is fun to listen to these two duel it out.
I liked the gentle start. 'Problem is, Santana is so fluid and facile, he tends to dominate proceedings. And stylistically he's a damn chameleon. I would have liked to have heard more from Buddy.

There ain't no one who can bend a note on the guitar like Mr Guy. You get a sense of it near the end of the clip.

When it comes to shredding, well, Santana has the chops and then some.

mizzomuffin,
I think that Jazzman1985 is right: "Is it?". My husband and I are regular guests in several cosy Blues and Jazz clubs of Bucharest (Romania) and I can tell you that these genres definitely have their faithful fans among ALL age groups and social layers. In other words, if you could find them even in a non-typical country as Romania, I'd rather not worry. The media and the school might have a say in this but, then, when have the media and the school ever lived to the expectations?!

UosdwisRdew0H,
Sorry but I have to correct you: it is MONTREUX. Go to the Wikipedia: "The Montreux Jazz Festival is the best-known music festival in Switzerland...", etc.
