Shaman is the nineteenth studio album by Santana, released on October 22, 2002. It debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 298,973, and was later certified double platinum by the RIAA[12] and gold in Greece.[13]

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 features various famous rock, hip hop, and pop artists, as well as Spanish opera star Plácido Domingo.

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

The first single released, "The Game of Love" which features Michelle Branch, peaked at number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number 16 in the UK, and number 21 in Australia. A re-recorded version of "Why Don't You & I" with vocals by Alex Band peaked at number 8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. "Feels Like Fire" (featuring Dido) and "Nothing at All" (featuring Musiq) failed to chart in most countries.
