''Supernatural'' is a 1999 Concept Album by Santana . The songs on the album represent one man's personal emotions through its various Cuban and Latin rhythms. It went 15 times platinum in the US and won nine Grammy Awards , including Album Of The Year .

The album, conceived by Clive Davis and A&R 'd by Pete Ganbarg , was phenomenally successful, eventually selling over 25 million copies worldwide; it is generally seen to have revived Santana's dormant career.
