About Me

aNoo is a group around a Brussels based Finn, Anu Junnonen, that started off in the spring 2002 and every since then has been creating an original repertoire. Meanwhile they have achieved a successful live reputation in the clubs of Brussels and around and their first album "The Luckless Lands of the North" was released in april 2007.Their music is influenced by everything from jazz to pop through airs of folk and sailor songs."C’est une vocaliste à la voix ample et ondoyante, dotée d’un sens inné du rythme" … "une vraie braise qui couve sous la glace. La formation qui l’entoure impression à la fois par sa parfaite cohésion mais aussi par l’originalité de sa palette sonore." (Claude Loxlay)“Volstrekt origineel, bezwerend en met geen stokken uit ons hoofd weg te slaan” ... "Geen platgetreden paden, niks voorspelbaarheid, maar des te meer pure, krachtige schoonheid.” (Dani Heyvaert)""The Luckless Lands of the North" est une évocation très aboutie et éminemment personnelle de cet univers particulier du nord dont elle nous transmet et l’enchantement et la mélancolie du temps qui passe..""aNoo s’exprime tant en anglais qu’en finnois et même en portugais. A.J. a vraiment acquis une maturité etonnante, tant dans les textes que dans ses compositions originales. Mélangeant subtilement les influences folk, jazzy, rock, le tout saupoudré par un zeste de « saudade » nordique." (Alain Goldsmith)"On voyage dans un pays imaginaire, entre valse, folklore pop et jazz" (Jazzques)
