Cetu Javu : German Synth Pop band from Hannover. Founded in 1984 and split in 1994.

Cetu Javu was a German synth-pop band lead by singer Javier Revilla Diez and synth wizard and composer Chris Demere. They started with the band in 1984 and in the spring next year surprisingly reached the third place in a young talent festival in Hanover. Several other shows followed but the highlight was a concert in December of 1986 as the opening act of Erasure. Their first maxi single “Help Me Now” was released in the spring of 1987 on their own label’s. Through the mediation of Talla 2XLC, Cetu Javu got a record contract with major company ZYX Records and released their debut album “Southern Lands” in 1990. 
 When the song “A Dónde”, a B-side sung in Spanish included on the single “So Strange”, hit number two in the Spanish charts, the band surprisingly achieved a great success in Spain and toured the country in an extensive way. The second full-length, “Where is Where”, came out in Spain in 1992. The success did not stop here and led Cetu Javu become very popular in other countries such as Argentina and Mexico. Unfortunately, in 1994, between personal prob- lems and having to make decisions about the future, the group withdrew from the music scene and each member moved to focus to other activities. “Where is Where” is now re-released ,containing the original album along with some extended versions and remixes from the singles “¿Por Qué?”, “Dame tu Mano” and “Una Mujer".
