Shaman

Shaman was formed in the second half of 2000 by musicians Andre Matos, Luis Mariutti and Ricardo Confessori.

At the time without a guitarist, Hugo Mariutti was initially called only to assist in the compositions. The result was so positive and unexpected that he ended up joining the band, fitting perfectly into the sound intended by the other members.

With the band finally complete, Shaman worked to make himself known and make his name, thus, he started his activities with a debut tour that went through Europe and Latin America (France, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Brazil) and caused great critical and public reception.

Embracing a style that mixes traditional Heavy Metal, Classical music and regional rhythms. The band’s theme is mainly focused on shamanism, from which the name Shaman came from, which means “one who sees in the dark or “one who heals through nature”.

The band returned again in 2018 for a tour with its original lineup, which was interrupted on June 8, 2019, due to the unexpected death of singer Andre Matos.

In September 2019 the band returns to the stage with Alírio Netto on the vocals.
