Antecedentes
A principios de la década de 1970, Calvary Chapel albergaba más de 15 grupos musicales que eran representativos del movimiento de Jesús. En 1971, Maranatha! Music fue fundada como una organización sin fines de lucro de Calvary Chapel para popularizar y promover un nuevo estilo folk-rock de himnos y canciones de adoración influenciados por el pueblo de Jesús. Algunos de los primeros Maranatha! Los grupos de grabación fueron Sweet Comfort Band, Love Song, Chuck Girard, Children of the Day, The Way, Debby Kerner, Mustard Seed Faith, Karen Lafferty y Daniel Amos. El primer lanzamiento del sello fue una compilación de varios artistas titulada The Everlastin ‘Living Jesus Music Concert, en 1971. El primer lanzamiento también se conoce como Maranatha! 1, ya que se convirtió en parte de lo que se llamaría la Serie Maranatha.
¡Maranatha! también se ramificó en el segmento de mercado infantil. Los productos principales incluyeron Psalty the Singing Songbook y The Kids Praise Album. A principios de la década de 1990, este segmento representaba alrededor del 40% de los ingresos de la empresa.
En la década de 1980, ¡Maranatha! lanzó Broken Records, un sello que se centra en el rock moderno , el punk y la música alternativa. La serie “Colors” contenía música instrumental en la línea de los artistas de la Nueva Era, pero el sello evitó el término.
Premios
En 1990, Maranatha! fue galardonado con el Premio del Presidente de los Locutores Religiosos Nacionales. En 1991, el premio Lifetime Achievement Award de la Asociación de Música Gospel.
