Anari (musician)

Anari (Ana Rita Alberdi) (born in 1970 in Azkoitia, Guipúzcoa) is a Basque singer/songwriter. She released her first album in 1997 and has established herself as an important reference point in the Basque and, by extension, Spanish music scene. She has been often compared with other female singer/songwriters from English-language countries, such as PJ Harvey or Cat Power [http://www.muzikalia.com/grupos_leer.php?referencia=57] , due to the intricate nature of her songs' compositions and her intense live performances. In 2006, she started working as a teacher in linguistics, hispanic literature and philosophy at a secondary school in Ordizia.
