Hello To All,

Would like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous holidays full of love and musica!!
Wanted to update everyone as I have been working hard finishing "Ananésworld", which you may know has been signed to Tommy Boy Records!!!  Since the signing we (Louie Vega & myself) have been busy creating incredible new music for the album!
So, I have decided to close the tracklist, since the album has new fabulous music for you all to enjoy.  But, I did leave a few of my favorite tracks that can listen to, until we are ready to release Ananésworld" in 2008.
Thank you for all your support!!!

Paz
Amor e Musica

1.ELLE

ELLE the lyrics to “Elle”, which means “she”, I wrote in my native language from Cape Verde.  When I first heard the track this is what came to mind immediately, to write a spoken word about a woman.  I wanted to express the woman that I am, along with every woman in the world.  We are mothers, daughters, sisters and friends with many common qualities, strengths and weakness’.  One line from the song says, “She is a woman, with a sweet voice, her smile illuminates, a goddess’ of love”.

2. LET ME LOVE YOU
anané selections
LET ME LOVE YOU:  I first heard this song when I was about 7-8 years old when I had first arrived to America.  It played at every party I went to as a child with my parents and I can remember dancing to this with my dad.  Flash forward some years, I asked Kenny to fill my Ipod with music.  As I scrolled and listened to my new music library of about 4,000 songs, there it was.  I heard it again and thought how interesting it would be to remake this song.  When I mentioned it to Louie as we were putting things together for the album, he said why not give it a shot. He asked me what I thought about having Mr. V on it, and the rest is history.

3. SHAKE THAT BOOTY

SHAKE THAT BOOTY this one of the last two songs to be added onto The album.  We wanted a fun, crazy, radio friendly track and with the help of my friends “The Groove Doctors”, we definitely had the track, so along with Duane Harden, him and I wrote this fun song.

9. AMAZING LOVE

Writen by Blaze for me, this song is and will always be a reminder of my summer tours with Louie Vega and his ELEMENTS OF LIFE band, along with myself and Josh Milan from Blaze.  I can honestly say being on tour for > one month, travelling with 14 people total and performing at some of the most presitious jazz festivals in the world (Montreaux, Capetown, Womad), taught me many things about this industry called "music".   We performed with all kinds of bands from different generes and the audience loved each and every one as they did the next.  Who said dance music couldn't go very far?  We did!!!!  Thank you Josh and Kev for > these incredible lyrics!!!
