(4/8/03, 5 p.m. ET) -- Carlos Santana spoke out against the war in Iraq and took a swipe at President George W. Bush when his band played Saturday (April 5) in Australia. Santana told the audience at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, "We are the architects of the world, and our agenda is different to Saddam Hussein and George Bush. Dignity and grace are our weapons, unity, salvation, and elegance."
Santana also invited opening act Yothu Yindi onstage with him for a version of Bob Marley's "Exodus."
Santana plays Tuesday (April 8) in Singapore, followed by five shows in Japan. The band launches a North American tour on June 11 in Atlanta.
