Carlos Santana is of course most famous for his legendary talent with the guitar. We immediately think of the distinctive smooth and relaxing sounds he creates on stage. He frequently appears on the Rolling Stone 'Greatest Guitarists of All Time' lists, and with very good reason. Santana has won a whopping ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards. Born in Mexico and based in the USA, Santana is a true North American icon.
In what seems to be a story that is far too common, Santana was sexually molested by an American man who was assisting him in crossing the border from Mexico to the USA. This went on for a period of two years when Santana was between the ages of ten and twelve. The musician decided to take his story to the public in order to raise awareness and help other victims.
