While listening closely to her father, jazz saxophonist Jorge Anders. "There were so many influences when I was growing up, and I wanted to do something with them all. The music of Brazil had a great affect on me; it's harmonically rich and so interesting melodically."

Her ongoing exposure to music of various sensibilities and her innate ability to fuse styles and formats were abundantly revealed in a few demo tracks she made on the cheap. Shortly thereafter, Anders became one of the only artists ever signed to Warner Brothers from unsolicited material, and WANTING, her 1998 debut, brims with vocal subtlety and evokes a calming, breezy mood. Her unique marriage of pop, Latin, and jazz led to Vogue and People describing Anders and her music as "exotic and bold" and "one of the most distinctive new voices to hit the music scene in years".

The new Gabriela Anders CD, "Bossa Beleza" (JVC/Japan), blends her own immediately recognizable sound with that of her first musical love, classic Bossa Nova. Eleven soulful and intimate tracks, including the Brazilian standards "Dindi", "Folhas Secas", "One Note Samba" and "Agua de Beber", as well as Gabriela's take on the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" and Earth, Wind and Fire's "September," plus three original songs, are all infused with the beautiful Bossa Nova sound so famously popularized in the US during the 60s by artists including Antonio Carlos Jobim, Frank Sinatra, Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto.

Gabriela is happy to have finally documented her own vision of a style that was so much a part of her own musical development, and that she continues to feel such an affinity for. "Bossa Beleza" is available through JVC Japan !
