Irka Mateo is a Latin/world music singer, songwriter and composer. Her artistic sensibility developed in Spain, France, Brazil, Canada and her native Dominican Republic. She is known for bringing a unique approach to the Latin/world music scene displaying an outstanding array of rhythms and genres due to her vast cultural background. Performing live she has a natural way of embracing a crowd and channeling her particular charisma — whether in front of soccer stadium in St. Kitts or the intimacy of a few score people in smaller venues like the Joe's Pub. In concert her Latin-Caribbean band is a mighty force propelling this unique artist.

Anacaona” is more than just a combination of various styles. This is the music about which one wants to call: “True music”. The wonderful folk music surrounds the beautiful vocals of Irka Mateo.
