And...We Still Are - new CD out now

Anna & Eliseo @ International Jazz Festival "Canarias Jazz & más" July 2022

We had the privilege of presenting our CD "And...We Still Are" on the 3rd of July at the Plaza de España, Llanos de Aridane (La Palma), at the 31st edition of the International Jazz Festival "Canarias Jazz & más". 

We shared the stage with this years headliners, SFJAZZ Collective.

A "making of" documentary and videos of our concert were recorded and will be published very soon.  Meanwhile here are some of the beautiful photos taken by Jonatan Rodriguez.

We are very grateful to all those who made this such a special night, we enjoyed ourselves so much and loved the vibe coming from the public!

Anna’s voice and Eliseo’s guitar are enough to draw us in, and to transport us. The music is beautiful, honest, intimate.

Concert Anna & Eliseo at Fundación Mapfre Guanarteme
And ... We Still Are

 Anna & Eliseo played the songs from their new CD on the 19th of January 2022 at Fundación Mapfre Guanarteme; unfortunately due to COVID restrictions there wasn't a live public and the concert was streamed on the Foundation's  Facebook and YouTube.  Watch the whole concert on the video below.
 

Thank YOU all for your wonderful support

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I (Anna) am quite overwhelmed with the beautiful response we have received from friends, followers and also music critics. 

This CD is very special for me for many reasons.  The story of how we came to make it is already amazing, after years of wanting to do this, it's finally here.  And it's even better than I had envisioned it. 

There were a few hiccups along the way, like losing my voice completely in June, a few days before we initially were going to record. 

We got to the studio on the first weekend of July,  a month after we had planned, and the sessions were relaxed and just flowed. In two days we recorded it all and it was done.

Another curious anecdote is that a couple of days before going into the studio I was inspired to write more lyrics for "Seven Years", as I have grown and evolved since 2008, which is when I wrote the first part of the song.

It's still early days and we're still waiting for other reviews that are being done, but the general consensus seems to be that it's the best work we've done as a duet to date.

Being such a personal album I initially felt a bit of vertigo as my songs are very close to my heart and I felt like I was baring my soul to the world.  However now I'm so happy to hear they bring joy and peace to so many people. 

I also want to say that I obviously couldn't have wished for a better musical partner than Eliseo, in 14 years we have grown as musicians and as people and our love and respect for each others craft grows daily. 
If you're here for the first time please listen to our music and follow us on any of our social media pages, we would love to hear from you! 
Peace and love, Anna

New CD and video out now

 We recorded our new CD "And ... We Still Are" at Musikrea studios on the 2nd and 3rd of July 2021, in two live sessions, with David García Valladares @musikrea doing the sound, mixing and mastering of the CD.

Our CD consists of eight songs composed by us, some years ago, others very recent; we are very excited as our second  CD is completely different from anything we have done in the past, and yet still has our essence and sounds like Anna and Eliseo.

The official video "Sandra Number 5" was recorded a month later at the Playa de Los Roques (Los Realejos) by José Luis del Barrio

Later a "making of" video was published with parts of the song "Crazy Mad" in which you can see some of the moments in which we actually were recording the song, also by José Luis del Barrio.
