The Dark World of Anna Varney Cantodea

Music gives for everything. In this sound world we come across the story of the German musician best known as Anna Varney Cantodea ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwsJlUdklmk ), exponent of the genre called Dark Wave.

In the last third of the twentieth century, many musicians and groups became more and more distant from the mainstreem, trying to satisfy with their searches, better forms of expression. Beings like Anna Varney Cantodea shows with her art what has been her life, her sufferings. Difficult childhood, rejections, aversion to people, fondness for vampirism.

A music full of dark sounds, in minor tones, constant use of the electronic and synthesizers help, on the one hand, to create the sound environment, and, from its own creation, to elaborate its albums herself, although it is supported in the grouping that Called Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows, to feed the myth that a legion of spiritual beings accompany him in his musical diffusion.

He was born a man, probably in 1952. He does not give interviews, he does not give physical addresses. It does not give live concerts, but its production is accessed through YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mutIAsNDeOM ). In his lyrics, inspired by poets like Edgar Allan Poe, he usually talks about death, suicide, bad karma and sadness, as described in a descriptive video of his music and persona.

It is a fascinating phenomenon within the panorama of musical culture in these times, although its music is strange, repulsive and even dark.
