Santana --which is currently overseas on a run that will visit New Zealand, Australia, China and Japan--will return to North America in time for a June-July amphitheater tour.
Benin-born vocalist Angelique Kidjo--whose sound gives a West African twist to funk, salsa, jazz and rumba elements--will open the summer dates.
Led by ace guitarist Carlos Santana, the group is touring in support of "Shaman," an album that has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Carlos Santana teamed with a roster of high-powered guest artists on "Shaman," including Seal, Dido, Macy Gray, P.O.D. and Michelle Branch. It's the same formula that Santana used on its 1999 comeback album "Supernatural," which has sold 14 million copies.
In February, the "Shaman" track "The Game of Love," featuring Branch, won the GRAMMY® award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.
Santana dominated the 2000 GRAMMY Awards ceremony with "Supernatural," claiming eight trophies to tie a record set by Michael Jackson in 1983.
