Shaman the Santana Experience
Shaman The Santana Experience
The Shaman Tribute Band is a 10 member band that pays tribute to one of the greatest classic rock bands in musical history, Santana. With the combination of Latin Rhythms, Blues and Rock-n-Roll, Santana created some of the most iconic and memorable songs of the last 60 years. Shaman has modeled its format exactly after Santana with all of Santana's iconic Percussion, including Timbales, Congas, Bongos, the Paul Reed Smith guitar sound of Carlos Santana and the rich texture of the Hammond B-3 Organ. Shaman features music from the first three albums but also includes hits from the later albums such as She’s Not There, Hold On, Europa, Maria Maria, and Smooth.
All of Shaman's members are long-time seasoned Rock-n-Roll and Latin Rock musicians with deep, rich performance experience. The two founders, Frank Conicella,and Chuck Schaffer founded a band in the early 70's called Prometheus. Prometheus toured the country with a theatrical rock show and played at over 111 colleges.
