A timeless composer and ethereal vocalist passionate about elevating the human spirit through the power of music and universal vibration, Brazilian recording artist Anaya has, since launching her recording career in 1998, captured the soothing yet spiritually and emotionally energizing essence of the music of her native country via a dynamic synthesis of orchestral new age, electronic and melodic trance influences and textures. Her expansive, globally distributed body of work as a composer, artist and producer includes 39 CDs (33 available on CD Baby), five musicals, a soundtrack for Luminescence Films, four videos, one songbook and a DVD. 

Recording under the name and independent label Anaya Music, the multi-talented relaxation/meditation artist and musical visionary – born Tania Mara Botelho has enjoyed great acclaim and chart and awards recognition for her recent albums Eternity (2016) and Aonki: Gateway of Love (2018). 

 

Achieving her childhood dream of playing alongside a live symphony orchestra, Eternity featured a virtual collaboration and real time recording in cyberspace between the artist’s label AnayaMusic in Brazil, a live symphony orchestra in Prague, and Steve Salani at Orchestra.net Studios in Los Angeles. In addition to the collection’s nomination for Best Neo-Classical Album at the 2016 ZMR Awards, its tracks “Dharma” and “Love’s River” received accolades from the Global Music Awards; “Drama” won for Best Composition, while “Love’s River” earned her the Outstanding Achievement Award. 

 

Eternity reached great heights on a variety of new age charts, including reaching #13 on iTunes’ iTop Chart and #1 on OneWorldMusic, NumberOneMusic and ReverbNation. The album also hit the Top Ten on several sites, including ZMR, and scored over 2.5M downloads via Song Alethea. In addition, the tracks “Song Skies” and “Dharma” have earned approximately one million views on Facebook, and Pandora’s Anaya Music station has increased its listenership significantly. 

 

A few years later, Aonki: Gateway of Love, her similarly orchestrated “cosmic new age music” collection, won both Clouzine’s Best New Age Album Award and the Global Music Awards’ Best New Age Music Album and Outstanding Achievement Award for the single “Laman Song.” The album was also included in a Huffington Post feature article titled "Heartful of Love.” Anaya Music’s latest release Isalc”Li: A Love Odyssey (2019) received the Global Music Awards’ Best New Age Album and Outstanding Achievement Award, and earned Best Ambient Instrumental Album honors and the Executive Awards from the Akademia MusicAwards 2019.  Anaya has also been honored as Best Female New Age Artist by IndieMusicChannel TV in Los Angeles. 

 

The niece of the famous maestro Meneleu Campos, Anaya’s relationship with music began at age eight. A multi-instrumentalist and vocalist from the start, her musical studies began with piano and guitar at the Carlos Gomes Conservatory of Music in Pará and vocal performance at the Musimed school in Brasilia. She also studied piano under maestro Waldemar Henriques and music theory and harmony under Wilma Graca while working with various guitar teachers. She immersed herself into vocal studies by exploring the music of diverse composers such as Puccini, Bizet, Haendel, Donizete, Mozart, Gershwin, Saint-Saëns, Villa Lobos, Verdi and many others. As a young opera singer, Anaya was closely supervised by maestro Hermelino Castelo Branco, in addition to working with several other teachers. She participated in many festivals, performed with Gonzaguinha and Ivan Lins, and is still influenced by Tom Jobim and Schubert to this day. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Anaya is a timeless composer and vocalist devoted to elevating the human spirit through music, to fulfill a collective yearning shared by humanity for harmony, unity and balance. Anaya’s desire to learn the universal language of music emerged when she was 4 years old reared by a rich culture driven by music and the arts.

 Anaya’s unique ability to weave her musical talents and expertise in computers and technology has given her the freedom to establish a successful career as an independent New Age/Neoclassical Artist.”

Music is the heart of Brazil and has been the foundation for Brazilian culture enriching all festivities, religious ceremonies and simple daily life.

Anaya Music’s latest release Isalc”Li: A Love Odyssey (2019) received the Global Music Awards’ Best New Age Album and Outstanding Achievement Award, and earned Best Ambient Instrumental Album honors and the Executive Awards from the Akademia MusicAwards 2019.  Anaya has also been honored as Best Female New Age Artist by IndieMusicChannel TV in Los Angeles. 

 

When she’s composing, Anaya calls on her spiritual side, and "retires" from this world to enter a realm of musical vibration, starting with a 32-minute meditation session. Yet when production begins, she draws on her tech background as a Digital Information Specialist, analyzing the most effective sounds to convey her provocative spiritual concepts. Reflecting on her personal inspiration and creative process, Anaya says, “I make music to fulfill a collective yearning shared by humanity for harmony, unity and balance. The magic of music and the profound feelings of love are a divine instrument of perfection to give re-birth to our soul. Music is the sound of Light. Our best instrument is the universal harmony of being.”

The niece of the famous maestro Meneleu Campos, Anaya’s relationship with music began at age eight. A multi-instrumentalist and vocalist from the start, her musical studies began with piano and guitar at the Carlos Gomes Conservatory of Music in Pará and vocal performance at the Musimed school in Brasilia. She also studied piano under maestro Waldemar Henriques and music theory and harmony under Wilma Graca while working with various guitar teachers. She immersed herself into vocal studies by exploring the music of diverse composers such as Puccini, Bizet, Haendel, Donizete, Mozart, Gershwin, Saint-Saëns, Villa Lobos, Verdi and many others. As a young opera singer, Anaya was closely supervised by maestro Hermelino Castelo Branco, in addition to working with several other teachers. She participated in many festivals, performed with Gonzaguinha and Ivan Lins, and is still influenced by Tom Jobim and Schubert to this day. 

Anaya’s devotion to creating meditation and relaxation music connects powerful for her work over the years in the healing arts, where she has used many types of therapies – ranging from those related to the physical body to those related to the more subtle and spiritual aspects of being and consciousness. Coming from a family that practiced Kardec Spiritism, Anaya first had contact with the more subtle energies of the Universe through her paternal grandmother, Izabel Romano. She was introduced at a young age to Hinduism, Zen Buddhism and Yoga, which she still practices today. 

Anaya later researched the life and work of Jiddu Krishnamurti and began immersing in studies of various empowering spiritual and healing disciplines – including esoteric astrology, tarot, I Ching, chromotherapy, aromatherapy, Shiatsu, martial arts, holotropic therapy and the Kabbalah. She has also delved extensively into alchemy psychology, Temple archaeology, the Silva Mind Control Method, cosmogenesis, anthropogenesis, rays of light, arithmosophy, dowsing, applied kinesiology, Chinese medicine, Feng Shui and quantum physics. 

In addition, Anaya completed the three-year Creating Holistic Foundations program at the Holistic University at Unipaz in Brasília. To enrich her research with real life experiences, Anaya made several pilgrimages to be with sages in her country and abroad. She has visited historical temples and sat at the feet of the medium Chico Xavier, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Edelarziu, Thomas Green Northon, professor Jobenil, Efigênia, medium Valentim, Amir Amiden, Trigueirinho and other spiritual leaders. Anaya also visited historical temples to add depth to her spiritual  experiences and understanding. 

As a Reiki master, Anaya has trained many therapists over the years, besides having years of experience seeing private clients. She has also served as a consultant in harmonizing residential, business, and personal environments, with emphasis on the millennial art of Feng Shui. She has taught personal training in anti-stress workshops and lectures. Anaya has also performed distance healing with her hands, metals, and crystals, participated in philosophical groups of thought, done speeches and offered collective therapy, and developed studies regarding self-knowledge and broadening consciousness. Dedicating herself to the field of alternative therapy related to integrating the physical body to the spiritual body, she has published two books, “Reiki; Spiritual Energy of the Universe” and “Paths of Life.”

In addition to traveling the world as a performer of Brazilian pop music, Anaya is a multi-talented professional who has worked for the University of Brazil and the United Nations as an Information Systems Specialist. She artfully weaves her expertise in computer science with a deep understanding of universal spirituality to create a powerful union between technology and the senses that is at the heart of her work in both realms. During her undergraduate studies, Anaya performed at Brazilian radio and TV stations, playing piano and guitar and she also performed at the Teatro da Paz in Belém, Pará.

Anaya has undergraduate degrees in Library Science, Drama Arts, Computers, and International Relations. She has a master's degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, a doctorate degree from Loughborough University of Technology in England, and a post doctorate degree in Information Systems from Syracuse University in the United States. She dedicated over 30 years to academia and research as a university professor, international conference speaker and developer of executive management activities in Brazilian public and private sectors. In her home town of Brasília, she implemented a doctorate program and coordinated a post doctorate program, both in Information Systems. She was president of innumerable examination boards for masters and doctorate degree programs, as well as for civil service examinations and professor promotions. 

Anaya has also participated in faculty and career commissions and served on boards at the university, in local government, and in trade and union associations related to computer science, such as Sucesu (Brazilian Association of Computer and Telecommunication Users) and Assespro (Association of Brazilian Companies for Technology, Software, and Internet). Anaya has published over 70 scientific articles and 10 books in Brazil and abroad. 

Internationally, Anaya has worked as a specialist in international organizations such as the ILO, UNESCO, FAO, FID, IFLA, among others. She was also senior researcher for CAPES, CNPq (National Counsel of Technological and Scientific Development), and the Ministry of Science and Technology in Brazil, where she also participated in scientific commissions. She was given scientific awards by the Fulbright Commission for her work as a researcher. Anaya has contributed greatly toward the advancement of research regarding leadership that uses an approach based on the theory of consciousness.

Anaya - composer, arranger and producer

1 Background
2 Academic Experience
3 Professional Activities
3.1 Music
3.2 Painting
3.3 Communications


From early on people said Anaya would be an academic, and indeed she later on became professor of Information Systems at the University of Brasilia. Her many years dedicated to management and leadership overflowed into a deep understanding of self-management and self-leadership, using one’s own energies. However, throughout these experiences, music was always present, bubbling just below the surface.

Anaya’s experience in these different channels of expression, as well as in being an alternative therapist for 10 years enabled her to have an integrated approach to her artistic expression, above all in music. Her musical talent began to flourish at age 8 in piano and later on in guitar. She is the niece of Maestro Meneleu Campos and studied under Maestro Waldemar Henrique and Wilma Graça.

Dedication to all things beautiful brings wisdom and an appreciation of creation’s greatest works of art, the evolved human being. Besides music, painting always contained a certain seduction for Anaya, especially because of the colors. Her early years of painting were more like art therapy. Her ability with colors matured and as a result some of her paintings on canvas and porcelain were shown in art exhibitions. But music continued to play inside Anaya.

Between the ages of 14 and 22 Anaya actively participated in the music scene, which included music festivals, concerts, and nightclubs. Destiny led her to stop performing temporarily and live off of other means.

In 1990 Anaya again dedicated herself to music, initially as a classical singer and then composing guitar music. Anaya has over 200 songs registered at the Rio de Janeiro School of Music. In 1995 she devoted herself to studying keyboard and using computer and sound technology. Her earlier experience in computer science made it an easy transition to accomplish. Anaya was finally able to bring together the senses and technology. The balance and harmony of this union is fundamental to creation. As a result, the principles that guide Anaya’s creations are: the senses, technology, beauty, romance, sensuality, and art integration.

The essential factor in composing is like a “resonance with the emptiness of the universe in musicality.” Other elements are more evaluative, cognitive, and rational. The stage called music therapy is meaningful in that we access new forms of essential musicality within ourselves. Music consciousness is Noetic Consciousness, referred to by Plato as conscious awareness. Noetics refers to the highest level of knowledge in an intelligence system and the origin of eternal truths that transcend the communicative universe of logical thinking. Music consciousness is therefore the expression of this absolute consciousness. Anaya says:

“Music for me is the sound of light. Experiencing music is experiencing the holomonic uniqueness of being, the fourth holomonic dimension, where creation and creator re-connect. In this manner other dimensions of creativity and living the now come together harmoniously. Music gives us the support to integrate and transcend. The creator being has been present throughout time and music brings us sweetly to the present moment so that we can experience the essence. Music put to words is beautiful, just as is poetry put to music. It is culturally motivated. So-called essential music is pure sound – it is creation and illumination. The magic of sound appears amidst silence, in the emptiness of profound feelings of love and communion with holos, which the sound universe called sonosphere. It is a universe in which the soul takes shape. Our best instrument is the universal harmony of being. The musical instruments we play are simply interfaces of compilations between us and the concrete world, in that the sound of the spheres is inaudible without interface. Essential music is simply being.”

The Fundamental Principles of Anaya’s Art:

The Senses, Sensuality, Beauty, Lyrical Romanticism

Through art Anaya re-connects love and poetry, the essence of life and light, and the ecstasy of sound as music of the new age. The desire for essential nature causes people to transcend their own nature and find their essential being in order to live life in the universe of the soul.

Anaya labored for many years in the computer science field. She has a Master’s and PhD in Information Systems, completed a post-doctorate degree in Leadership, and taught as a visiting professor at the Syracuse University in the United States. She has had over 10 books and 70 papers published in Brazil and abroad. Having continuously traveled giving lectures, holding conferences, and teaching specialization courses in Brazil and abroad through national and international organizations, Anaya has held many positions in business and entrepreneurial leadership, as well as in academic research.

Anaya also dedicated herself to the field of alternative therapy related to integrating the physical body to the spiritual body. She concluded these activities by publishing two books: one about the method of “Reiki; Spiritual Energy of the Universe” and another book about knowledge entitled “Paths of Life.”

Anaya is a poet and has published the books: “Affection,” “My Shadow and I,” “Mayda,” and “Winged Being.”

She has devoted many years to composing, musical arrangements, and producing her own musical work. Early on in her career, her music showed the influence of the Brazilian Bossa Nova style. But in 1995 the New Age style came into her music permanently. More recently, trance music inspired her to create a unique style she calls Overpop. Anaya is an independent artist and produces the great majority of her music in her home studio. Her music has been promoted in music and internet magazines, spiritual guides, and music/shopping sites.

News excepts from the Internet:
1) From the World Music genre – “Anaya confirms the power of the Internet to promote artists.” Anaya initially advertised her artistic work independently on Internet, until one day she was discovered by the SpinRecords label based in California and was immediately offered a contract. This step earned her a respectable discography of 21 albums launched in the USA and in Europe.

2) The song entitled "Tedeum" – dedicated to the angels, to God and to the enlightened Being in ourselves – is having so much acceptance by the public that the SpinRecords label decided to make an album entitled "Tedeum," which has been among the Top 10 of SpinRecords and the Brazilian mp3.com site since April, 2000. The review by Justin Garcia, musical editor of a recording company in the United States, says: “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 to 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 in 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 Fulbright 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.

3) The songs "Beyond" and "Skies" that are movie themes and belong to the "Golden age collection" made up of 2 albums entitled "Beyond" and "Infinite melody" have been in the International Top hits on sites in France and in the USA for several months.

4) A review by Senator Arthur da Tavola, a musical editor that broadcasts a Brazilian music program on the Congress FM Radio, states: " Anaya’s music is very pleasant to listen to and has a great impact on the senses that flows through her inspirational kind of music. Congratulations, Anaya."

5) In a press release by the Brazilian Post, music editor Irlam Lima writes: “The need to compose music and present it to the public has taken Anaya back to her musical origins. She is now creating her own arrangements and productions."

6) The feminine talent revelation: the song "Horseman Experiences” (Vivências de Cavaleiro) by Tania Mara (Anaya’s previous name) was selected by the Brazilian Song Festival and the International Song Festival of popular music held in Brazil. “She knows what she wants,” they said, and she is considered a promising talent.

7) An fan from mp3.com affirms: “I'm going to Europe next week to present my work and search for a record deal. “Tedeum” will resonate in me through my journey and will keep me calm and focused.” (Canada)

8) An artist and fan from mp3.com insists: "I forgot to tell you, I was having a real stressful, tiring day on Friday and put your music on and it did for me what it was intended to do ... released a lot of stress! I loved your music ... thanks! Billy

9) A fan comments: Harmony and a sense of profundity as the music plays. I listened to a sample on the Internet and really liked it. Congratulations! I ordered a CD, so I can listen to it fully.

10) John D. exudes: ANAYA, playing your wonderful music this morning. Breakfast with Anaya. I have you cued up and streaming. So many different voices, a multitude of sound. You have a very unique touch almost like a fantasy of the subconscious mind. How fluid and serene!


11) A fan from mp3.com expresses: Sitting around the house playing your wonderful music. All my musical friends at MP3 are so talented and it is so nice to have a musical family. Your opinions and comments are always welcome. In fact I live for that!! It is truly an honor to be associated with you. Your hard work and diligence is inspiring. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. I have had the pleasure of seeing you grow and expand your horizons of music. You are my favorite. Love and Peace. Listen to Anaya Music and feel peace inside your real self.
