Ana Kanpa: Spirits of the Earth

About Me

Thank you for visiting our page!We are an alternative/indie rock band from South Florida, specializing in hypnotic jams, conscious lyrics and melodies, poetry and otherworldly songs of spirit and earth. Our name means "spirits of the earth", and comes from an ancient Sumerian prayer: "Zi dinger ana kanpa" or, "Spirits of the Earth, remember".We've been creating and performing around Florida at various venues, festivals, private events and benefits over the past five years. Our music ranges from melodic rock and blues, to acoustic songs and unique improvised jams, in which we experiment with sound, bringing together different flavors from Middle Eastern to rhythmic chants and tribal beats.As artists, we are passionate about creating and connecting with each other, as well as the audience. Ana Kanpa is always evolving. Our shows are a journey through different moods and eclectic sounds inspiring thoughtful reflection and deeper connections.We've just finished a new, full-length album "Spirits of the Earth" available at our showsCheck out our website at: WWW.ANAKANPA.COMA video of The Alchemist:
