Ani the Singer
"Ani's voice caresses the soul with
dream-like beauty and the layered harmonies and healing sounds work
their magic." - NAPRA Review
With a voice that ranges from angelic to earthy shamanic, Ani has
dedicated her life to singing for the beauty of the Earth. Singing
and chanting in many languages, her vocal harmonies lead the listener
into the temple of the heart.
