file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - TIZIANA HURD: - First, thanks very much for this interview regarding SHAMAN. I always loved Shaman, and I have all their discography. Ricardo Confessori contacted me 1 year ago, asking to manage his band and I accepted without problems.

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - FC: Nowadays, Shaman has more name than ever worldwide? Why is that?

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - TH: - Because I did a great job! SHAMAN never had before a manager and today to have label supports its not easy, then I promote the band in worldwide in every Radio in network link possible, and all this took me 1 year job, but now SHAMAN is getting big every day, and finally we are ready to rock the world.

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - FC: Shaman will play now in Masters of Rock Festival and other two dates confirmed in - - - Europe in short time possible.

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - FC: - You work with Almah, Angra, Shaman, Sepultura and worked with Andre Matos sometime ago. You have more interests in Brazilian bands?

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - TH: - - Brazil - has a lot of great Artists… maybe it's because the people there have the music in the blood. Anyway yes, I signed with DR. SIN another Brazilian rock/heavy legendary band. Sepultura has been my first Brazilian band, and with them I did 2 European tours in 2007 all shows were sold-out…I love those guys, very professional and nice people. In November 2008 I booked Sepultura in a - Philippines Festival headliner. We are always in good relation. NOW, I'm really busy with SHAMAN. There is a big difference between SHAMAN and the other bands. I manage SHAMAN and then I HAVE to take care MY BAND. To be manager it's not the same that to be an Agent, a lot of responsibility going on.

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - FC: - You are booking dates for Shaman in worldwide. Is there much interest in Shaman in the part of the promoters?

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - TH: - Yes! After all my promotion around the world, I got most interest from Eastern Europe, UK, ASIA, some USA States, and Middle Eastern. Every kind of promoter (Classical, rock, metal, jazz, pop, etc) wrote me great words about SHAMAN music. This is a great satisfaction and I'm proud to manage SHAMAN.

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - FC: Is there any possibility to see Shaman and Angra or another big band playing together someday worldwide or do you think that solo tours are better?

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - TH: - Maybe who knows? Maybe Angra a day will support SHAMAN who knows? In this business you never know what can happen.

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - FC: - You’ve worked with many artists and bands. Is there anyone that you have more affection nowadays?

file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CTiziana%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml - - TH: - I appreciated all bands that I worked with and every band has a special place in my heart. If you are asking if there is a band that I would like working with, well, sure I have my dreams, the same of all other managers, but it would be very unprofessional to mention names out of my roster. Anyway I will be really busy in the next years thinking for new bands working for.
