Hymns and Songs of Freedom – Set List, Artist Performances & Great Photos!
The much anticipated, “Hymns and Songs of Freedom” concert, live at Stravinski Hall in Montreux Switzerland, proved to be everything Carlos hoped for and more. It was a beautiful evening filled with great songs, amazing artists and fantastic musicianship. Carlos handpicked all of the songs that were performed and with the help of more than a few friends, turned a dream concert into a beautiful reality. Below is the setlist and the performers who appeared on each song. We will update the site with photos and a full show review in the days to come. It was one of those once in a lifetime experiences that was better than it looks on paper.
Please note that the Santana Band and or members of the Santana Band appeared on all songs except for “Ahh Sweet Dancer”.
