Press Reviews Internet sites where you find anaya"s music: News in internet: 1)world music genre - "Anaya confirms the power of Internet to promote artists": Anaya is a good example of the power of Internet in promoting an artist.

Review of Justin Garcia,musical editor of a recording co.(Usa): So, you had a bad day at work. There was an accident on the highway. It took you twice as long to get home in the rush hour commute. Ok, so you finally make it home, you plop down on your coach. Now what? What do you do to relax? If it's a Jack and coke, that's fine; whatever does the trick. But try something healthier. Listen to Anaya's CD, Tedeum. Close your eyes and get soothed by the new age style that permeates the six tracks. Escape the corporate world (this is a great CD to bring in the office) and much like the Star Trekkers, get beamed to another planet. You will be transported to resplendent and rich fields of flowers. Your mind will feel at ease on an out-of this-world landscape. Babbling brooks will make you forget about the bills you have to pay and other mundane and petty tasks that sometimes overwhelm us. Anaya is a Brazilian artist and an intelligent one at that. She was a Fullbright scholar from Syracuse University. Her musical education began with piano at age eight, and then with guitar at age 13. Her many years of music composition, arrangement, and production work translate well into Tedeum. Oh yeah, this is a great soundtrack for Yoga also. Relax. Leave this world for a while. When you come back from the Anaya experience, you'll be more prepared to tackle life's challenges. 3) The songs "Beyond" and "Skies" that are movie themes and belong to the "Golden age collection" with 2 albuns entitled "Beyond" and "Infinite melody" have been in the International Top hits in sites in France and in the Usa for several months. 4) Review by Senator Arhur da Tavola, musical editor that broadcasts a brazilian music program in the Radio Congress FM : " Anaya"s music is very pleasant to listen and has a great impact on the sensibility that overflows her inspirational kind of music.
