Anna Riveiro, a charismatic singer, voice coach and music producer. She sings in many styles, but her interests are focused mainly on music from widely understood Jewish culture as well as on music from ancient Spain.

In her musical creation she gives a special meaning to Sephardic music. Her discography includes, among others, 4 CDs with Sephardic songs, recorded with different instruments and in various styles.

As an internationally recognized artist she is often invited to international festivals connected with Jewish and in particular Sephardic music. For example in 2011 she gave a recital during the jubilee edition of the International Festival Of Sephardic Music in Cordoba (Spain). Sephardic songs performed by her have been proposed to UNESCO in the range of the program concerning endangered languages. Anna Riveiro constantly gives concerts in Poland and abroad (she has performed in: Israel, Spain, Mexico, France, England, Italy, Germany and other countries).

Besides Sephardic music, she performs Yiddish and Hebrew songs including Jewish liturgical repertoire. Her artistic search goes also towards ancient and traditional music from Spain, Portugal and Latin American countries.

Besides concerts, Anna Riveiro also runs courses and vocal workshops in Poland and abroad as well as she gives voice lessons in the range of Riveiro Vocal Studio. She has been recording for the radio and television and has published several CDs with different bands, lately with Mayaan - a band which she founded in 2010.
