Oye Como Va is a song written by Latin musician Tito Puente in 1963 and hugely popularized by Santana‘s cover of the song in 1970 and appearing on their album Abraxas. Oye Como Va helped mainstream Santana into music and the album reaching number 13 on the Billboard. The fact that the phrase Oye Como Va is the title of the song and is sung somewhat separately from the phrase “mi ritmo” makes it easy to interpret the meaning as “Hey, how’s it going?” However, the first sentence is actually “Oye como va mi ritmo,” meaning “Listen to how my rhythm goes..”

She’s Not There is an original song performed by The Zombies released in 1964. Performed by Santana She’s Not There appears on their album Moonflower, 1977, becoming the first top forty charting song for Santana.
