REVIEWS

1) This is a musical review by Justin Garcia:
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.

10) Review by Gods of the Music H.Hunter -

ARTIST: ANAYA
SONG: AGUAS DA VIDA (LIFE WATER)
GENRE: INSTRUMENTAL / BRAZILIAN
SIMILAR: ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM

This artist, Anaya, wanted me to review this piece “Aguas da Vida (Life Water)”. It’s not that raw fact that befuddled me, but the fact that the song was Brazilian. I’m so used to ambient and all, that this was something surprisingly new. I actually have an affinity for Brazilian jazz music, so this is not too much of a foreign style.
“Aguas da Vida” is very laid back piece with some readily apparent Brazilian flavor. Not like the free-from improv pieces I have heard, this is way more structured and sounds a whole lot more direct. The piece consists of soft keys, guitar, bass, and light percussion. The guitar starts off the piece along with the bass, but the percussion and key melody soon take over. Playing in a restrained, soft and yet still progressive style, the keyboard is backbone of the song. Lending a fair amount of chill, its relaxed way of getting across to the listener serves to provide a mood for the entire work.
Joining the fray are some other instruments as well, including bass, guitar, and drums. The bass sound is similar to that of an upright bass, frequently used in Brazilian type pieces. Soft and meaningful guitar chords are played at the beginning of the song as well, to set the whole thing up. Working well on its own and as a choice complement to the bass, this guitar may not rise to the top in this piece, but it fits well in where it is placed. Percussion here is drums and samba type beats emerge as well in a distinct Latin style. Again, these are not free flowing as usual, but the sound and tone are definitely Brazilian. Overall, most aspects of this piece are nicely produced and fit well together. Overall, this is a quaint, relaxing piece of Brazilian music. It resembles the like of Antonio Carlos Jobim in many ways. Not often do I hear works in this genre, but it’s always interesting when I do. So to you, Anaya, keep up the good work. Hunter H.

Music to release stress and sleep...
Reviewer: Music and technology
This music made me feel so relax that I went to sleep in 7 minutes. The tunes, sequences and the sound atmosphere makes you feel deep inside like a wave in the sky. It released me completely from stress.
