It was when his family moved to Tijuana a few years later that Santana began his lifelong relationship with the guitar. Early on he emulated his heroes - John Lee Hooker, T. Bone Walker and B.B. King - whom he heard on American radio stations when their signals crossed the border. These days Santana says he is still a hippie. He believes man will evolve to such an extent that one day there will be world peace - and free electricity and water.
