Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

An instrumental track with its dynamism, complex structure, and fusion of musical genres including “latin Rock”, jazz and the blues.
I love the song as it is pretty much split into two songs. You’ve got the up-tempo jam at the start with myriad solos from various musicians which then transitions into a slower ending more akin to jazz.
This track contains some of Carlos’s most iconic solos and also has iconic percussion. This is pure Santana.
Definitely one of the highlights of Abraxas. (Edited)
