José Luis Anderson
Earnest, intimate, heartfelt, delicate: Andervel is the music project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist José Luis Anderson. Born and raised in Mexico, formed in Iceland, Andervel has succeeded in creating a unique brand of folk combining carefully crafted lyrics in Spanish, English and Icelandic, with a sound influenced by the ethereal touch of Iceland and traditional Mexican music.
Andervel acts as a homage to the worlds that converge within them, their background in classical singing and their maturation in the Icelandic scene.
A bridge between two worlds
-El Universal, México
Celebrated as a rare pearl in Spanish- Icelandic language by American outlet Al Día, Andervel’s hotly anticipated EP Noche
was released in late 2020. Noche includes singles “ No Sé” featuring Sóley and “Faðmaðu Mig.”
Andervel has performed at most venues and festivals within Iceland, as well as internationally, touring in the Faroe Islands in 2021 and partaking in cultural events in Denmark, Estonia, Oslo, Canada and Austria.
Andervel is currently working on their debut LP supported by the Icelandic Music center.
