Gresk og Keltisk musikkhybrid som er noe helt for seg selv. Vellias' plate The Thief of Secrets var en world music bestselger i 2006. Dette er følsom og var musikk som virkelig har særpreg, må høres! Elisa Vellia er født og oppvokst i hjertet av Hellas med melodiene derifra i blodet. Eventyrlysten dro henne til London og i Londons undergrunn oppdaget hun den keltiske harpen.
"Ahnaria is the story of a journey which began before me and will continue after me. They are the footprints of a woman who walks across the centuries. I left my land not to earn my living but out of love of adventure, in search of a dream, and I have become a stranger wherever I go. I hang in suspense between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The roots that I have today remain superficial for fear of closing the door of return forever behind me. I have left everything, and my journey has been long, but the memories of childhood, the scents and colours of Greece have never abandoned me. I think of those who have travelled before me, and I feel the dust of their long trek flow in my veins. You are so long, Ulysses, deep inside me nestles the salty wave. The open sea forces my destiny, the oceans direct my gaze." (Elisa Vellia)
