The Basque Cultural Center is proud to present - Annekdotas - 8:00pm

The beginnings of Anne Rodriguez were before the pandemic, she started with a solo project with the stage name: Annekdotas. She produces urban music, based on rap, but also highlights reggaeton, dembow or trap influences. In this way, Annekdotas is earning her place and her people in the scene she wishes to represent, dealing in her lyrics with personal experiences as well as current issues which still need to be given a voice, denouncing some harsh realities, both in Basque and in Spanish.

She learned music with a midi and Cubase keyboard. She taught herself to produce her first bases so that she could later sing over them and explore their sound. She has been a pianist since she was 6 years old. As a teenager she put a band of girls to perform in singing competitions. At 15 years old she received the “Nafarroako Kantarien Lehiaketa” award for the best original song, that talks about the mistreatment of women. She has been the keyboardist for punk groups such as “Potroberoak”, heavy metal covers, tribute to “Joaquín Sabina”, among others.

After publishing her first songs, such as “Kalamarmen” or “My Beat” (2019) through YouTube, she released the song “Aurrez aurre” (2021) accompanied by the video clip produced by Iris Audiovisual, with which she achieved her highest number of views, achieving greater recognition from her audience.

In January 2022, at the Falerina Gardens in Vitoria-Gasteiz, she debuted in her first concert as Annekdotas with Mozolu on the turntables, playing her bases and arrangements. From there, she began to shape her shows, making her live performances entertaining and powerful. Her biggest performance have been in 2023, such as at the La Blanca festivals in Vitoria-Gasteiz, in the “Txosnaz” with the rap group Apolog´s.
