Начавшись как приличный ранний "латинский Сантана" (даж хит проскочил), альбом скоро съехал в джаз-рок с галимой импровизацией ради неё самой. Стало скучно.
Микс приличиствует. Ярким бы не назвал. Объёмные эффекты в начале и в конце. Ну, ещё отчётливо слышны неутомимые барабанщики в тылу. Чаще там минусовка от фронта. 7 баллов.
Цитата
Borboletta is the sixth studio album by Santana. It is one of his jazz-funk-fusion oriented albums, along with Caravanserai, Welcome, Love Devotion Surrender with John McLaughlin, and Illuminations with Alice Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette and Jules Broussard. The guitarist leaves a lot of room to percussion, saxophone and keyboards to set moods ("Spring Manifestations"), as well as lengthy solos by himself ("Promise of a Fisherman") and vocals ("Give and Take", a funky guitar-led song). The record was released in a shiny blue sleeve displaying a butterfly, an allusion to the album Butterfly Dreams by Brazilian musician Flora Purim and her husband Airto Moreira, whose contributions deeply influenced the sound of Borboletta.
