Santana will release Africa Speaks, a new Rick Rubin-produced album, via Concord Music later this year. Led by legendary guitarist Carlos Santana, the group shared the LP’s lead single, “Los Invisibles,” featuring Spanish vocalist Buika.

Last December, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer revealed that he recorded several songs over the course of 10 days with Rubin at the producer’s Shangri La Studios in Malibu. The album was recorded by an eight-piece Santana lineup that includes Carlos’ wife, drummer Cindy Blackman Santana.

Listen to “Los Invisibles” below:
