Talk:Samba Pa Ti

Instruments

Can anyone tell me all the instruments used in this song? I need it really bad right now for a Spanish project. If you don't I'll know for sure that wikipedia is as big a fraud as people says it is, and i will boycott it and tell all my friends too also!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.175.207 (talk • contribs) 01:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

How's that been working out for you? / edg ☺ ☭ 19:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Even if this section is at least ten years old already, the musicians and the instruments performed are as follows:

• Carlos Santana – electric guitar, composer, producer
• David Brown – bass guitar
• Gregg Rolie – Hammond organ
• Michael Carabello – congas
• José Areas – timbales
• Michael Shrieve – drums

You're welcome. CHICHI7YT (talk) 16:59, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Merge

I like a good song article, but this has had over a year of stubbiness. Would anyone object to my merging the song stubs from Abraxas to Abraxas (album) (as was recently done to Nursery Cryme and several Black Sabbath albums)? "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" as singles (and originating from other artists) would stay the same (with much of their information copied to Abraxas (album)), but "Samba Pa Ti (instrumental)" would be completely merged to Abraxas (album), with a redirect from here. / edg ☺ ☭ 19:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Should this article be renamed?

Should this article be renamed to just Samba Pa Ti? There is a disambiguation page for Samba Pa Ti, and this page lists Samba Pa Ti (instrumental) and Samba Pa Ti (album), but Samba Pa Ti (album) now redirects to Santana discography, and Samba Pa Ti (the song) is more notable and well-known than Samba Pa Ti (the album).

Correct title

Although that's not the way it's written on the album and that's why the title appears as "Samba Pa Ti", the correct title for this tune is "Samba Pa' Ti" (with an apostrophe) because "pa" is a shortened form of "para". The "formal" phrase is "Samba Para Ti", but it's very common to shorten "para" in informal Spanish. And, as the apocope it is, "pa" requires an apostrophe.
