Anamesa catches the mediterranean spirit, with driving melodies and delicate harmonies. Using traditional instruments, the ballads of the Balkans and the lively dances of Italy and Greece will naturally come to life. 

The music of Anamesa invites you to wander over mountains and cross stormy seas, to end up at an evening full of joy!

Our first album is coming this spring! Recorded and mixed at Rode Hert Studio, Roderwolde. We ran a succesful crowdfunding campaign, and the album will be printed on CD and vinyl. Get it soon on Bandcamp
