Claudio Filadoro is a multi-instrumentalist based out of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Active in the Argentinian music scene since 1991, Filadoro (Also known as "El Pastor") has performed in several groups throughout his career in a variety of genres.

Filadoro's first known band would be performing bass for Vrede (Swedish for "Wrath"), a groove metal/thrash metal band active between 1991 and 1996. In their main run the band had released two demo albums and two studio albums, all the while performing in South American. Filadoro would switch to guitar in the stoner rock band Sandiablo, forming in 1997 and recording a single EP in 1998. However this band would dissolve in 1999.

In 1999 Filadoro would be offered to join the Argentina-based stoner rock/desert rock trio Los Natas once founding bassist Miguel Fernandez had left the group. He would largely contribute to two extended plays (2000's Livin' La Weeda Loca and 2001's El Gobernador) along with songs for tribute albums to Blue Cheer and Aerosmith. However he would leave the band in 2001, citing a falling out with the band.

Filadoro would begin involvement with two new bands in the early 2000s. The first would be Gallo de Riña, releasing a single EP and notable as Argentina's first sludge metal band. Buffalo would form in 2002 and become Filadoro's main musical project, handling guitar and vocals alongside a rotating rhythm section. In a tenure spanning nearly twenty years, Buffalo would release six studio albums and a split album with Astroqueen.

Filadoro would also be involved with the band Bloodparade between 2009 and 2012. He would also found Manso Jeremias in 2010, a thrash/death metal band inspired by Swedish death metal such as Entombed, At The Gates, Dismember, Unleashed and Edge of Sanity. This band has released two EPs since their formation.
