Anna Saeki
Tango Clasico y moderno (2CD)

RIENCD66

The singer ANNA SAEKI comes from Japan, more precisely, from the island of Hokkaido, in the cold north of Japan. Her artistic, creative talent was noticed very early.
She was trained in classical Japanese dance, singing and Koto playing. But Anna’s love for the traditional Japanese art forms did not keep her from being interested in other cultural worlds.
It was the Argentinean tango that enchanted her and drew her in like magic. Since the tango had been an established art form in Japan since the early 20th century – there were numerous Japanese Orquesta Tipica and tango singers - Anna was able to tie into this tradition seamlessly. She sang classical Argentinean tangos in Spanish, new tangos in Japanese, and transformed internationally well-known folksongs into tangos. She recorded numerous albums in Japan throughout the years and filled the concert halls at home. And finally, her reputation made it to the home of the tango, Argentina. Several big orchestra directors, composers and musicians in the Argentinean world of tango became aware of Anna. They invited her to perform concerts in Buenos Aires and accompanied her with their famous orchestras.
