ID - NEW ANNA MARIA JOPEK'S ALBUM
 On 28 January 2008 an international version of album ID will have its premiere. For collaboration to this project Anna Maria Jopek and her husband Marcin Kydryński invited a bunch of true giants from around the world. The Brazilian bossa nova genius Oscar Castro Neves meets serene ECM recording pianist from Norway Tord Gustavsen. An exotic voice of Tunesian oud virtuoso and vocalist Dhafer Youssef blends with brave and adventurous notes of Branford Marsalis’ soprano saxophone. Richard Bona’s trademak Douala vocals and bass lines coexist with sensual French singing by percussion wizard Mino Cinelu. Manu Katche and Christian Mc Bride provide powerful grooves… yet then there is this amazing, sophisticated vocal (in fact – about a zillion of them so carefully layered!) by Anna Maria that makes it all work. Read more about ID.

Anna Maria Jopek performed with musicians who took part in recordings: Marek Napiórkowki (phenomenal guitar riffs), the pianist Krzysztof Herdzin, the bass virtuoso Robert Kubiszyn and drummer Paweł Dobrowolski. These musicians represented a core of the band but everyone was waiting for a performance of two Anna's special guests: the master of bass Richard Bona and Dhafer Youssef the owner of a beautiful voice and the oud virtuoso. AMJ and her guests played such songs as 'To, co nienazwane', 'Tea in Sahara', 'Aya (1984)' - duets with Dhafer Youssef and 'Zrób, co możesz' , 'Dina lam' performed with Richard Bona. The last song they played all together was smashing hot number 'Teraz i tu'.
