New York, NY (Anath Official Website/ www.anathmusic.com) - Singer-songwriter Anath celebrates the release of 'Rapture,' a five song EP including an imaginative reworking of the Blondie hit, with a special midnight performance on Friday, May 5 at the Blue Note (131 West 3rd Street). Blending Middle Eastern roots music and western rock, Anath echoes Fayrouz, Sade and Mazzy Star in an original set of lush harmonies and world beat. This mesmerizing singer/dancer/actress has recorded and performed in all three capacities throughout Europe and the Middle East, singing in French, Hebrew, Arabic and English. Admission to the Blue Note show is $8 and tickets are available at www.bluenote.net.

Formally trained in music and dance since age six, Anath has already had a globe-trotting career. As a former member of the French gypsy pop band Fiesta Mora, Anath recorded two albums and had an international smash hit with the song "Alabina." The hit resulted in extensive touring across Europe, Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia. In 2000, Anath joined the cast of the groundbreaking French musical "The Ten Commandments." An unprecedented success in French musical theater, the nightly production sold out Paris's four-thousand seat Palais Des Sports Arena for four consecutive months. Anath's music can also be heard in film. In 2001, Anath contributed two songs to the "La Verite Si Je Mens II" soundtrack. The film was one of France's biggest box office blockbusters of the year.
