I'm Romi Anauel.
I was born in the south of Angola. I've been living in Portugal since I was two years old.
The ancestors from my mothers side are from the Nile region, they belonged to the tribe of Nomad. They walked across Africa, down to the South of Angola untill the border with Namibia. I'm very happy to feel my roots. I'm a singer, songwriter, dancer... at this moment I play with the band Terrakota and i'm preparing my own work.
I Like every kind of music as long as the music is soulfull and true...
I'm here, if you have some idea that i can make part of ...let's go!!
I've put here four tunes:
First tune is "Desert Zeppelin", a song that was created in a fluid way and from an improvisation session. it's about turning back to the roots and it's on the first album of Terrakota.
Second tune "Saudosa malouca" is an old brazilian lyric, i like it because it talks about a human being without a homeland...made it with MoFrancesco.
Third "I Say Minina" one more time I talk about the homeland, soul and good self valuation, it's on the second album of Terrakota, "Humus Sapiens".
Fourth tune, "Waiting for You", my jazzy flow...it was made it in collaboration with MoFrancesco also.
I hope you enjoy my songs and my ways. leave a suggestion if you want...
An advice: "Express yourself and don't judge other people based on appearences...!"
Happy holidays for you all ! Stressless days for the atheists and agnostics, "Merry Chrismas" for the christs, "Sallam" to the Arabian world "Peace" for all the rest !
I invite you to listen to my "Piranas" that has an african touch you hopefully like :)
Hello all, this will be our final release of 2009, and a great way to end the year... Pinklogik asked 10 artists and friends to remix her entire "Learning To Trust Higher Frequencies" album and what an eclectic and stunningly produced work this is. Each track has its own feel, thanks to the diverse range of artists involved in the project. A shimmering journey through ambient colours, broken beats, sweet melodies, a little bit of quantum physics, and is one hell of a trip....

[S27-030] MIN-Y-LLAN : Dark Days (Downtempo, Ambient)
We are fast approaching the last days of 2009, so what better way to celebrate than this release from Welshman "Min-Y-Llan" who offers us this collection of atmospheric ambient pieces, the melodies within are dark and cavernous, being the perfect listening for the walk home on a frozen winters evening. Each track has a very melancholic feel as if looking towards a future that isn't as bright as we hope for, but nevertheless are powerless to escape. Free download!
Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
