Caravanserai is the fourth studio album by American rock band Santana, released on October 11, 1972, by Columbia and CBS. The album marked a period of transition for Santana as it was the band's last to feature several key early members, while shifting in a more instrumental, progressive jazz fusion direction. It sold in fewer quantities than the band's previous chart-topping albums, stalling at No. 8 on the Billboard Top LP's & Tape chart, but has been critically acclaimed.
