Auckland singer/songwriter Anji Sami may now be lesser known than her actress sister Madeleine but she has got an EP out there that she should be proud of. 'The El Dorado EP' was released in 2006 and I'm a bit disappointed we haven't had a follow up from her. She graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree at Otago University where she studied under the one and only Dr Graeme Downes from Dunedin band 'The Verlaines' and had regularly played with David Kilgour of 'The Clean' around that time. The title track to her 'El Dorado' EP is a nice country tinged indie folk tune that deserved much more exposure. Anji and Madeleine have a younger sister Priya and the three of them play live occasionally as 'The Sami Sisters' and that is one live act I wouldn't mind seeing. Abounding talent.
