 Anna Tréa is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, and arranger born in São Paulo, Brazil. Anna Trea’s debut CD “Clareia”, produced by Swami Jr - known for his work with Omara Portuondo and Buena Vista Social Club. Anna’s rhythmic way of playing chords mixes with her technical virtuosity on the guitar to create a style reminiscent of an electric bass or percussion instrument. Her playing style blends perfectly with the musicality of her body language in dance and theater. Anna’s music interlaces Brazilian roots rhythms with world rhythms such as blues and Indian mantras.
