The Gypsy Queen part of the track is favorite (credit to Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo)
Indeed. Santana merged Peter Green's "Black Magic Woman" and Gabor Szabo's "Gipsy Queen" into one track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
(Gabor Szabo: Gipsy Queen)
According to Santana himself, Gabor Szabo (originally Gábor Szabó), a legendary Hungarian jazz guitarist emigrating to the US in 1958, was a great influence on his and other great guitarists' music at the time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...):
“We all wanted to be B.B. King when we grew up. But as soon as we grew up, we went to Gábor. [.…] B.B. had me in a spell. When I heard Gábor, I knew there were other possibilities with the guitar.”

And here let me share two other links where you can immerse yourselves in Gabor Szabo's musical world. It's worth a try, believe me:
A live performance on TV where Szabo plays with fellow Hungarian jazz musicians during his first visit back to his home country in 1974
And my personal favorite album from Gabor Szabo: Dreams
