[email protected]MAETAR is brothers Itai on bass, vocals, percussion, guitar and keyboards, and Hagai on horns, shells, keys, vocals and percussion, and Peter Buck on drums and percussion.
Born in Israel on a kibbutz.
Made music since birth.
Wanted to study war no more.
Embarked on a peaceful journey to create original spiritual music, bridging the gap between communities and tribes.
Won awards and critical acclaim but rested not on their laurels.
Continued to make modern funky, jazzy grooves for peace and enlightment.
"Innovative bass, haunting melodic horns, conch shells, shofar and flutes, hard swinging funky drums and exuberant joy that pervades all the music these amazing musicians create every time they play."
Strong sense of musical community and inclusions of visual and lyrical art forms.
Critics, radio djs, fellow musicians and fans rave about MAETAR:
"miss NOT," "visionaries," "sexfunkdogs," "one of the most original and exciting bands of true musicians to come along in years," "spiritual puppies," "jam band," "meditative melodies that breathe sheer beauty," "new world acid jazz with a funk twist," "A great live act!!!" "truly one of a kind and should not be missed."
MAETAR has just released their second CD, "Maetar Live," recorded live at the legendary Harvelle's in Santa Monica, now available online at ITUNES or NAPSTER.
