Santana

Santana rolls in on three syllables like a guitar line bending across the fretboard. Spanish and Portuguese in origin, it began as a contraction of Santa Ana, the saint's name carried as a surname across Latin America and the American Southwest before crossing into first-name use. Carlos Santana did the rest, lacquering it with Woodstock, Latin rock, and Abraxas. Ranked 811 and genuinely unisex, it has percussion at its center and a cathedral hush at its edges. Musical, sun-warmed, a little famous around the collar, Santana wears its rhythm out loud and expects you to keep up.
