Emanuel Šprljando -- od Arause i od Zadra - samozvani kantautor i glazbenik. Rani rad eskalira na Omladinskom festivalu u Subotici početkom kraja druge polovice dvadesetog stoljeća.Zarazio se glazbenom gripom od koje nema lijeka. Slijedi laganim pjesmicama na dječjim festivalima u Zadru,a kao izvođač i na festivalu Ritam Zadra 1893. i 1895. Ti su festivali na čast i ponos nacije bili na playback. To se radi kad organizator uvidi da u publici sjede idijoti. Ne obeshrabren, rađa samostalni šaljivi CD "Lude krave" 2001. Tu, osim pjesama na vlastite stihove, uglazbljiva i stihove Dragutina Herende i Mladena Vukovića.A ono inače osim svojih pjesama na vlastite (rjeđe i na tuđe tekstove) na nastupima izvodi još i angloamerički flok i francuske šamsone. Kao dugogodišnji reproduktivni glazbenik u svrhu razvoja turizma i suživota s Indijancima, preživljava na suhim smokvama, kruhu i bluesu svirajući u lokalnim postavama u Vodicama (Napokon) i Zadru (Orion, Sunce,Trio Fantastikus - pa u triu, pa u duu te u neizostavnom one - man bandu. Od tada jede blitvu on stage (ako organizator dozvoli!). Izvodi program na sezonskom glazbenom bauštelu. Instrumenti:jedna gitara, druga gitara, klavijature,bas gitara, usna harmonika, kazoo, drombulja, def, Vst instrumenti, miš. ..................................
