After premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival during June, Carlos, the new documentary about Carlos Santana, begins its theatrical run this weekend. “Carlos: The Santana Journey Global Premiere” takes place over three days starting Saturday, Sept. 23 and continuing Sept. 24 and 27. Santana and Emmy Award-winner Rudy Valdez (“The Sentence,” “We Are All Brooklyn Saints”) will provide a special introduction for the screenings, while Santana friends such as Clive Davis and Rob Thomas will also participate. Santana tells us that he's particularly pleased “Carlos” presents a down-to-earth picture of his life and career:
“Like Maya Angelou said, the only thing people are gonna remember is how you make them feel. So I want people to feel significant, meaningful, that they're precious and priceless. I want to be able to give people hope and courage and not the opposite of 'Here comes another movie about a loser' or something like that.” :28 (OC: like that)
Tickets and theater locations for “Carlos: The Santana Journey Global Premiere” can be found via www.carlosfilm.com.
“Carlos” will have its general cinematic release on Sept. 29 to theaters worldwide.
Santana begins his next “An Intimate Evening with Santana” residency at the House of Blues Las Vegas on Nov. 1, with eight shows during the month and returns planned for January, February and May.
