The World Of Soul Music PTIII: Spain

Aniki - Tiempo Al Tiempo (2003)


 

Aniki (real name Ana Escudero) was a bit of a child prodigy; she starred in plays and sang in her school choir; her talent caught the eye of her teachers, who recommended her to expand her musical studies. From 15 years old she developed an interest in rap, gradually discovering djing, breakdancing and graffiti art. in 1997 she began to discover Soul and Jazz music and her interest in taking her vocals in that direction took off. She is now one of the most recognisable names on the Spanish R&B scene.
She cites her musical influences on her current sound as reggae, soul, jazz, electronic, folk, bolero, salsa hip hop; in her own words 'I do not think I should limit my ears and not recognise beauty where I see it'.
Her current projects include making a mixtape on Jamaican riddims to be titled Ego, and recording in the studio with Spansh Hip-Hop artist Malputo Dest.
