ZHMIAA (pronounced "zimiaa") was formed in Athens/Greece in 1995 by members of prominent local bands Nikos Fanourakis and Yiannis Venardis. After quite some time of experimentation and member changes ZHMIAA's efforts culminated in the recording of the band's first album in year 2000.
Eventually, it was released in 2003 by indie label olon music & was met with rave reviews by the local press & public.
July 2007 : ZHMIAA's album "Ena Asteri" released from SONY BMG / Ethnotik with special guests Christos Dantis, Georgia Kalafati (Sugahspank/Sugah Galore) and Nikos Bardis (Diafana Krina).

"This is one of those names that schould be uttered only in hushed tones. Not only was he taught by the peerless guitar picker the Rev Gary Davis, but Mann has played with Son House, Bukka White and John Fahey... In between giving lessons to Paul Simon and accompanying Dori Previn, he has also managed to cut some dazzling music...Don’t miss a chance to see him; you are unlikely to hear anything- or anyone – better in the fields that Mann has chosen to master. ” - The London Times
