Anna Vaverková at Las Perlas

Date TBA

Anna is an indie-pop artist based in Berlin, and has since 2018 been a founding member of indie group The Flavians. With the latter, Anna has performed at Glastonbury and the Reeperbahn festival, to name a few. Just prior to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic in 2020, the band released their debut album which they were unable to tour due to travel restrictions.
With the unexpected abundance of time in lockdown, Anna began writing her own songs. Due to homesickness and dissatisfaction with her lyrics in English, she decided to create in her native language - Czech.

Nevertheless, the emotive vocal performances and beautiful musicality of these songs transcend language in connecting with the listener. Her debut EP Roztomilá Holka from 2022 caught the attention of the wider public and her own work earned Anna nominations for three music awards - Vinyla for Discovery of the Year, Apollo for Best Single of 2022 and Anděl Awards in the Alternative and Electronica category.

The success story continued with the release of her debut album "Pozdravy z polepšovny" which is already considered to be one of the best Czech albums of 2023 by many critics.
