About Anallia
Anallia is a singer, dancer, percussionist, culinary coach and educator. She blends the healing arts with music, and has come to share rhythms, dance and singing as means of connecting within, celebrating, and releasing daily tensions to facilitate balance & optimum health; a doorway to the deeper creative Essence that we are all a part of.
Born in Rio de Janeiro Brasil, she was blessed with the creative genes of a Brasilian mother who came from a very musical and theatrical family. Her father, an American diplomat with Cherokee ancestry, was originally from Kansas. This delicious combination is termed “CariCana” by the Brasilians...”Cari” from Carioca, a native born in Rio de Janeiro, with “Cana”, the last part of Americana.
Anallia’s deep primal nature comes from the richness of cultures she grew up in. These cultures, Brasil, Africa, Asia and Hawaii, all maintain balance using tribal rhythms, dancing and singing.
She spent her first nine years immersed in the Brasilian culture. During this time, she experienced the power of music and dance in daily living…..to release, transmute, grieve, celebrate and create. Brasilians are masters at transmuting the stresses of daily living using rhythms, singing, dancing, soccer and volleyball.
Brasilians are heavily influenced by the Umbanda, a Spiritualist tradition brought over by the Slaves from West Africa using drums, singing and dance in their ceremonies. At nine her father was transferred to Liberia, which began her journey into seven years in the African culture, including two years each in Ethiopia and Nigeria. Nigeria especially gave Anallia a direct experience of the roots of the very music she had been raised with in Brasil. The Philippines and Thailand were the last countries she lived in with her family, adding new dimensions of dance and music to her repertoire.
Anallia's introduction to quartz crystal singing bowls in 1990, offered her a means to bring her spirituality into her music. Her relationship with the quartz crystal singing bowls has grown in depth since then. It has been her bridge to learning her outer voice and connecting with her inner voice. In 1992 she spent months of daily voice and toning work on the beach where her workshop “Awakening the Singer Within“ was born. This was the beginning of "Crystal Wings of Light", to be delivered to the world June 2006.
Anallia's background as a dancer and percussionist along with her work as a sound therapist using quartz crystal bowls and tones, empowers the vision of this healing music. “Crystal Wings of Light” and “CariCana” assist in the re-calibration of the emotional body as well as the cellular structure. As we refine our frequencies with the use of sound, we lighten, raising our capacity to take in more Light!!.
Her CD’s, "Crystal Wings of Light” and “CariCana”, were conceived as healing entertainment, musical tools to harmonize and facilitate our lives. They are intended as a deep place of rest for the Soul, and a “key” to unlocking and connecting with the knowingness of our “Spirit”.
Anallia now offers group vibrational tunings where she plays 7 chakra-tuned Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls to harmonize the entire Being, as they reflect all light frequencies of the rainbow. These crystalline tones stimulate “alpha brainwaves” as in meditation, quieting the mind and allowing the body to unwind.
Each quartz crystal bowl is played one at a time, allowing each tone to be fully experienced. Inspired tones and singing in the “Universal Language of the Heart” offer a lullaby feeling. A vortex for healing is formed, clearing the auric field, tuning the energy centers, balancing the hemispheres of the brain, and most importantly…..creating at one ment.
