ANUBÍA
Segredo A Voces
Boa Do Fol 10002024 (2001)

Anubía are six strong young female singers in the hard-edged pandeiretera vocal style that is making a welcome reassertion in the Galician revival. But here it seems so much attention has been paid to the busy instrumentation, from various Berrogüettos et al, plus predominant, boomy bass guitar and rock-obvious drumkit, that the women sound swamped and inhibited, like guests on their own album.
