Friday Night Musical Interlude - Foreign Languages On The US Pop Charts - Part 12: Oye Como Va is a song written by Latin jazz and mambo musician Tito Puente in 1963 and popularized by Santanas rendition of the song in 1970 on their album Abraxas, helping to catapult Santana into stardom with the song reaching #13 on the Billboard Top 100. The song also reached #11 on Billboards Easy Listening survey and #32 on their R&B chart. The fact that the phrase “Oye como va” is the title of the song and is sung somewhat separately from the phrase “mi ritmo” makes it easy to interpret the meaning as “Hey, how’s it going?” However, the first sentence is actually “Oye como va mi ritmo,” meaning “Listen to how my rhythm goes.” All I know is that I learned to love Carlos Santanas music listening to this song. It doesnt get much better than this... https://youtube/watch?v=DoIqXz2AIFs
