Carlos Santana has revealed that his next album, the follow-up to 2019’s Africa Speaks, will feature guest appearances from Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett.
Speaking to ABC News Radio, Santana revealed that the album was nearly complete, and that, “[M]y brother Kirk Hammett from Metallica is playing [on it]. He’s tearing it up.”
Santana also hinted that former Spencer Davis Group/Blind Faith/Traffic singer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Winwood and Living Colour frontman Corey Glover may also feature on the upcoming collection.
In 2005 Hammett contributed guitar to Trinity, a cover of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s song Tere Bina that appeared on Santana’s All That I Am album. More recently, he played on Give The Drummer Some, the 2020 album by Santana’s wife, former Lenny Kravitz drummer Cindy Blackman Santana.
