Shaman (band)

The band was formed in mid-2000, when musicians Andre Matos (vocals, keyboards, ex-Viper), Luis Mariutti (bass, ex-Firebox) and Ricardo Confessori (drums, ex-Korzus) left the band Angra. Ricardo Confessori, the only remaining member of Shaman, decided to continue the band with a new line-up. Later, in 2007, the album Immortal, was released. In 2013, all members but Confessori formed a new band called Noturnall. On a 2014 interview, guitarist Fernando Quesada confirmed none of the members would return to Shaman. On 29 June 2018 Shaman announced a reunion of their original lineup to tour in celebration of their 17th anniversary with two shows in São Paulo. After some weeks, a tour was announced for Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Manaus, Fortaleza and Recife. They toured until 2 June 2019, with Avantasia. The tour was interrupted with the unexpected death of the vocalist Andre Matos, on 8 June 2019. == Line-up ==
