"I haven't come to India with an American flag to showcase my talent. I don't do that. I have come to bring not only the spirit of music, but the spirit of spriritual triumph from America," he told reporters on the eve of his debut Indian live performance at the Vladivar Rock 'N India here.

The 65-year-old Grammy winning musician said not everything people see on TV about US is true because mostly the worst of the things are shown.

"There is another beauty in US. I come from the land where there is social experiment. I represent US as a rainbow of American Indians, Africans, Hebrew and sundry other communities," he said.

Santana said many believe that US is a ground for wars and there are many like him who think that all wars should stop and there ought to be more investment, time and energy on education.

"The more you educate your brother there will be less brutality. We can eliminate child sex labour, domestic violence," he said.

Replying to a query, Santana said a musician loves to create songs and touch people's hearts like Michael Jackson.

"To me it is not a job that I have to work with Clive Davis (an American record producer and music industry executive) or to do a radio music," he said. (MORE)
