Shaman is the eighteenth studio album by Santana. Shaman was released on October 22, 2002 and debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 298,973. It was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA[6] and Gold in Greece.[7]

The first single of the album was "The Game of Love", featuring Michelle Branch. "Why Don't You & I", featuring Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, was also re-recorded as a single in 2003, which featured Alex Band of The Calling.

Like the previous album, Supernatural, Shaman featured various famous rock, hip hop, and pop artists, as well as Spanish opera star, Plácido Domingo.

The album is currently Santana's longest studio release to date.
