Reggae Summerfest Spotlight: Etana

ETANA'S NAME MEANS "The Strong One." It was also the name of a Mesopotamian king, but whatevs. We're more concerned with this new soul-infused reggae singer, not some mythological Sumerian ruler.

Read our Weekend Pass feature on Etana, which includes an explanation of her personal story behind the "Wrong Address" song and video, plus embeds of about 1,000 video interviews with the thoughtful roots-reggae up-and-comer.

Etana appears Sun. Sept. 7 at Reggae Summerfest at RFK Stadium.
