The Madeira

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.

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

-“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 ‘albums.’ Definitely one of the best albums of the -year.”
— Strange Jason, - Gravedigger's Local 16 -

- -

-“‘Tribal Fires’ is by far the best album in the genre that we've heard -so far this year. An instrumental and conceptual trip into the dark -jungle with ultra-intense passages, enigmatic atmospheres and -absolutely captivating melodies.”
-— Diego RJ, Spanish public radio - show El Sótano (The Basement) -

- -

-“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.”
-— Alan Taylor, Pipeline Instrumental Review.
-Tribal Fires is #1 on editor Alan Taylor's Top Ten list, Pipeline Instrumental Review - #90, Winter 2012 -

- -

-“Wow. Just plain Wow! The Madeira continue to prove why they are one -of the most influential and oft-referenced contemporary surf bands in -the world. A palpable energy, explorations into musical exoticism, -top-notch musicality, memorable songwriting, extensive variety -- -Tribal Fires has it all and then some! There really aren't enough -superlatives to explain how good this album is.”
-— Jonpaul Balak, Tiki Magazine -
