Carlos Santana
Risk 83Guitarist
The man who made every guitar solo sound like it was having a spiritual experience in the desert sun, Carlos Santana fused Latin rhythms with rock in ways that still make "Smooth" impossible to escape at any wedding reception. At 78, he's still touring and channeling whatever mystical energy keeps his fingers flying—though a 2022 onstage collapse from heat exhaustion reminded fans that even guitar gods aren't immune to the laws of physics. Whether he's got another comeback in him or his next jam session is with Jimi Hendrix, Santana remains one of music's most watchable legends.
