Emaue is a talented rock group that offers a new taste and original sound. This band emerged in 1995 in a local high school in San Diego, facing a very demanding crowd who desired not only quality in music, but also a fresh sound.

The five members that make up this group are of Mexican origin, three of them come from Mexico City: Alex on drums, the two brothers in the group Erick on percussion, and his younger brother Toño on keyboards and accordion. The frontman of the band J.L. "cuevo" is from Acapulco, Mexico. He is the lead vocalist/songwriter and plays the guitar. Gus the bass player is from San Diego, CA.

The name EMAUE represents the origin and identity of cultural and afrolatin chants. In the musical fusion this band creates, you can hear elements of ska, cumbia, funk, rock, reggae, punk, along with traditional Mexican sounds like banda and other rhythms they grew up listening to. Something they defined as: "tropiquebracumbiamamboska".

Although with their short career, this band has wasted no time in taking advantage of the opportunities they have come across with.
