People of Airwaves: Nothing compares to Icelandic reggae By Þórhildur Þorkelsdóttir 7. nóvember 2014 22:30 The friends Maddalena Cebese and Victoria Wadersee love Icelandic reggae. VÍSIR/ANDRI MARÍNÓ The friends Maddalena Cebese and Victoria Wadersee are both German but live in London where they're attending university together. Earlier this year they became fascinated by Iceland and decided to come to the Iceland Airwaves festival after having seen the festival programme. "We saw that the program was fantastic, with so many bands that are favourites of ours," they explain. "What's really surprised us are all these awesome Icelandic bands," says Maddalena. Victoria agrees with her. "For example we just came from seeing the reggae band Amabadama and it was amazing! We didn't even know that there was such a thing as Icelandic reggae, but then we ended up at this concert by chance. It was like reggae had been invented with the Icelandic language in mind, who could have suspected that the two went so well together?" she says, which makes both of them laugh. They're also very fond of Icelandic cuisine, especially the lobster soup. "We were very cold yesterday and we had lobster soup at the Sægreifinn restaurant, it was very good and a good way to gather strength between concerts," they exclaim proudly.
