There’s something so humble and peaceful about Carlos Santana that we absolutely love. We also dig his honesty, especially when it comes to social media.

At the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Conference, the iconic Mexican guitarist and songwriter was asked about his thoughts on social media. His immediate response was: “What is that?”

After moderator Leila Cobo explained that it’s platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, Santana had the wisest answer, ever.

“Oh yea, I use Facebook, but I use it to invite people to claim their own light, you know?,” he said at the conference. “If social media means immediate mass communication, I welcome it as long as we promote beauty, elegance, excellence, grace, integrity, compassion and kindness. If we promote that, than it’s significant. Anything else is BS.”

Well said Mr. Santana! You always know the right way to enlighten the new generation.

Carlos Santana will receive the Spirit of Hope Award for his philanthropic and humanitarian contributions beyond his musical work at the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Awards airing April 30th on Telemundo.
