After John Legend belted out the national anthem to kick off Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night (June 2), musical legend Carlos Santana and his wife Cindy Blackman Santana will take their talents back to the hardwood to perform the “Star-Spangled Banner” at Game 2 on Sunday night.

The global rock star has sold more than 100 million records over his 40-year tenure thanks to Latin-infused hits like “Oye Como Va,” “Maria Maria” and “Smooth.” In April, he released Santana IV, which saw the reunion of his band’s original ’70s lineup, comprised of Santana, Gregg Rolie on keyboards, Neal Schon on guitar, Michael Carabello on percussion and Michael Shrieve on drums. Santana IV also debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. His wife, Cindy Blackman, is an American jazz and rock drummer, who also joined her husband in performing the national anthem at last year’s NBA Finals.
