Festivál is the eighth studio album by Santana, released in January 1977. It peaked number twenty seven in the Billboard 200 chart and number twenty nine in the R&B Albums chart. This was the band's second and last album with Leon Patillo on vocals, and the last full-studio album with longtime keyboardist Tom Coster. It also was the first one with percussionist Raul Rekow, who would remain with the band until 2013 (save for 1987–1990).

Critical reception

Rolling Stone wrote: "Though this record is far stronger on the whole than Amigos, it lacks that album’s memorable chordal quirks and peaks of intensity, sometimes sounding like a prisoner of its own commercial aspirations."
