The name of the band makes reference to the blend of cultures that takes place at a border region. "The" in English and "Chamanas" in Spanish is a made up "Pocho" name because of the way people can be fluent and can constantly speak both at the same time. The name also comes from the idea that music can change how people think and feel in very positive ways, like Music therapy. A "Shaman" or "Chaman" is a spiritual person that can cure with energy and natural medicine, and music has healing properties, making this the main reason the name was chosen.
