Carlos Santana and wife Cindy Blackman performed the U.S. national anthem together Sunday.
The 67-year-old guitarist and 55-year-old drummer performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" sans lyrics at Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors.
Santana and Blackman took to the stage at Oracle Arena in a mustard yellow shirt and a sequined top, respectively. The couple posed in matching denim outfits with the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy prior to the game.
"We love excellence grace dignity elegance / Amamos la excelencia, la gracia, la dignidad, la elegancia," the guitarist captioned the photo on Facebook. The Cavaliers won 95-93 in overtime, tying the series 1-1.
Santana proposed to Blackman in concert on his Universal Tone tour in July 2010, and wed the drummer five months later. He last released Corazón with Santana in May 2014, while Blackman is best known for her work with Lenny Kravitz.
