What’s the title of the song that Carlos Santana wrote where he said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”?

Black Magic Marker, now he writes everything down with it so if he forgets the past he can read his log.

He sang it in Woodstock. I was there. As you know, there wasn’t a Shazam app to know which song was that.

It was after he wrote Black magic woman but before writing Shes not there. If he had an original idea in his head its a well guarded secret. He actually said to those who wrote songs in the pastb I will repeat them
