  • Bio

    Sydney-based singer/guitarist Anna Salleh was first captivated by the beauty of Brazilian music as a child, when she saw the film 'Black Orpheus'. It introduced her to the enchanting world that is bossa nova and much more. Over the years, Anna's vocals have featured in world/jazz ensembles from Sydney and Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur and the Edinburgh Festival. Most recently she spent three months in Rio de Janeiro performing with local musicians, seeking out the wisdom of bossa nova elders and other teachers, and broadening her repertoire to include other styles of Brazilian music, including samba and choro - her journey of musical discovery there featured in ABC Radio National's 'Into the Music' program.* Her live album 'A Felicidade' includes a gorgeous selection of Brazilian tunes as well as other gems. "This CD pays homage to music that has communicated an essence to me – of joy, of sorrow, or something less tangible - but no less moving," says Anna. "'A Felicidade' means 'Happiness' in Portuguese. But the song is really about 'both sides' of life – as embodied in the melodies and voices from Brazil and beyond that have become part of the air that I breathe." "From the irrepressible beat of sambas to the enchanting melodies of bossa novas and choros; from the joy of Ella Fitzgerald to the dreaming of Joni Mitchell; and from the soaring purity of Eva Cassidy to the passionate Ladino depth of Yasmin Levy." The album features some of Sydney's best world/jazz musicians including Jess Ciampa on percussion, Lukas Maio on piano/piano accordion, Clare O'Meara on violin/mandolin, Stan Valacos on bass/7-string guitar, together with Tim Bradley and Calvin Welch on drums.
