Borboletta is a 1974 album by Santana. It is one of his jazz-funk-oriented albums, along with "Caravanserai", "Welcome", with Alice Coltrane, "Love, Devotion and Surrender" with John Mac Laughlin, "Illuminations", with Alice Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette and Jules Broussard. The guitarist leaves a lot of room to percussion, saxophone and keyboards to set moods ( "Spring manifestations" ), as well as lengthy solos by himself ( "Promise of a fisherman" )and vocals ( "Give and take", a funky guitar-led song ). The record was released in a shiny blue sleeve displaying a butterfly, and suiting the general mood perfectly.
