   <p class="lead">The Madeira plays surf music born of screaming wind over the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, deafening echoes of waves pounding the Gibraltar Rock, joyous late-night gypsy dances in the small towns of Andalucia, and exotic cacophony of the Marrakesh town square. It is the surf music of the millennia-old Mediterranean mysteries.</p>

   <p>On these pages you will find the latest news from the band, show dates, songs &amp; videos to download, photos, and merchandise information.</p>

         atmosphere of awe and mystique that will mesmerize you from start to
         finish. A total must-have. There is no letup, absolutely no letup, in
         the quality of the tracks on this outstanding CD. Each song is a work

         &ldquo;The quality of surf music on this album is unreal.  Everyone is
         playing at a level that hadn’t been reached before on prior releases,
         albums that are by no means of the imagination products of
         half-hearted work. The song arrangement is pretty smart, producing not
         a collection of songs but an overall experience that is lacking in a
         lot of modern &lsquo;albums.&rsquo;  Definitely one of the best albums of the
         year.&rdquo;

         absolutely captivating melodies.&rdquo;

         &ldquo;The Madeira retain the melodic approach of '60s guitar instrumentals
         to which they apply the adrenaline-charged drive and sounds of surf
         music. [T]hey play as if surf and rock instrumentals still mattered as
         much as they did five decades ago.  [An] outstanding release from the
         Madeira.&rdquo;

         Tribal Fires has it all and then some! There really aren't enough
