For some time Anna Saeki enriches the International Tango Scene in a special manner.The particular fascination of her interpretations lies in the artistic bridging between two apparently contradicting cultures. Anna Saeki combines the expressiveness and passion of the Argentinean tango with the tenderness, grace and grandeur of her Japanese roots. Anna Saeki never copies; she creates her own style, her own distinctive tango with far-east flair.No one can describe this in a more beautiful way than the great Horacio Ferrer: “La voz de Anna Saeki es como si fuera un perfume!”In 2007, Anna Saeki celebrated her 20-year stage anniversary and she celebrated her friendship with the greats of Argentinean tango: Raúl Garello, Nicolás Ledesma, Horacio Ferrer and Leopoldo Federico. With them she recorded two new CDs in Buenos Aires: “Concierto de Anna – Clásica” and “Concierto de Anna – Moderna”.The two anniversary CDs appear in Europe as a double album by ORIENTE Musik. This release shows two facets of this many-sided artist: the classical tango diva and the expressive interpreter of modern tango.
