Milagro
Milagro is the seventeenth studio album by Santana, released in 1992. Milagro, which means "miracle" in Spanish, was dedicated to the lives of Miles Davis and Bill Graham, and was Santana's first album on the Polydor label after twenty-two years with Columbia Records. The album reached 102 in the Billboard 200.-Wikipedia

AllMusic
. . . Milagro is only an average Santana release, familiar-sounding but undistinguished, and it failed to arrest the band's commercial slide, becoming the first new Santana studio album not to crack the Top 100.

January 29, 1997. After releasing his first twenty-six recordings on CBS/Sony, Carlos Santana begins a new phase of his career with Milagro, one of the finest sessions he’s done. The album reaffirms Santana’s position as the standard-bearer for fusion music.

The Great Albums
Santana’s first – and, as it would turn out, only – album for the Polydor label is dedicated to the memories of jazz legend Miles Davis and the band’s former manager Bill Graham. As an album piece, it’s far more cohesive than Spirits Dancing in the Flesh and is the band’s most artistically ambitious disc since at least Festival, if not Borboletta.
