ABOUT ETANA

She is currently one of the most prestigious Jamaica artists around the world. In a short period, Etana was hailed as one of the most flourishing and sensational revelations of Reggae Roots today. The name Etana means "THE STRONG" in Swahili, an ancient African dialect and one of the official languages ​​of Quénia, Tanzânia and Uganda. Her “Rasta-chic” style, elegant and at the same time simple, is as striking as her sound: a bold fusion of folk, soul, jazz and reggae, supported by a powerful vocal range inspired by the ancestral spirit of the South African Miriam Makeba, the reggae royalty of the queen Marcia Griffiths and the soul verve of the American Etta James. The shows in Brazil will be based on Etana's third and most recent album, “A Better Tomorrow”, without forgetting the successes of previous works. Released in February 2013, "A Better Tomorrow" was recorded in Kingston/Jamaica at the legendary Tuff Gong Studios (studio founded by Bob Marley). Etana says he prefers not to fit into labels and his musical influences are varied, ranging from reggae and pop to rock and jazz. She describes her style of music as soul reggae: It's straight from the heart, straight from the soul, straight from people and everyday life."
