Available in: gb icon flag icon
When it comes to Roots Reggae, European vocalists Emeterians produce some of the best, top quality new music; their classic format putting them on a par with Reggae greats, hence they have played alongside international artists such as The Wailers, Max Romeo, Steel Pulse, Alpha Blondy, Clinton Fearon and Morodo. Madrid is home to Emeterians.

After 10 years in the business (formed 2004) their musical versatility combined with a unique approach to the craft has resulted in Emeterians becoming Spain’s pre-eminent vocal trio. Emeterians: Brother Wildman, Sister Maryjane and Maga Lion have taken the unusual step of sharing lead vocals and harmonies, each singer having unique vocal qualities that compliment their plethora of tracks. Emeterians did not start out as Reggae singers. Between them they covered multiple genres however were drawn to Reggae music because it reflects their true beliefs and is in alignment with their spirit.

Their very name, ‘Emeterians’ is a tribute to Emeterio’s Rehearsal Rooms – holding special memories and a place in their hearts. Musically, through a combination of styles- Roots, Dub and New Roots Reggae, Emeterians successfully generate an original Jamaican flavour. The trio maximise this by executing their songs in different ways. They enjoy working/performing in various formats including; 5 piece bands- especially The Forward Ever Band, sound systems and acoustic sessions. Notable Achievements: Emeterians have been at the forefront of reggae music since their conception, performing at the best clubs, live music events and making media appearances.

During the past decade, Emeterians have been influential in raising the profile of reggae and popularising it both within Spain and across Europe, leading to an impressive record of international festival appearances. Included are: Reeds Open Air, Mount Zion Festival, Foundation Reggae Festival and Rototom Sunsplash-the biggest European Festival where all the top artists perform.

The Emeterians felt very blessed to play at the festival twice, in 2008 and 2011, and to win the Spanish contest (a part of the festival,) appearing on the main stage in Italy at the climax of this prestigious event, an opportunity to share their music with a huge crowd.

They were also winners of ‘Best band’ in the ‘World Music,’ ‘La Noche en Vivo,’ (Madrid) -contest on two recent occasions and awarded first place in the Tetuan Festival- renouncing their prize to give another artist the opportunity to record an EP.
