Life

The daughter of a blacksmith and trained tourism specialist learned the flute at the age of eight, then the piano and later rhythm and jazz guitar. As a tour guide, she met the first drum in Morocco in 1984, which from then on determined her life.

In 1984 she began her training in African , Afro-Cuban and Brazilian percussion with study visits to Cuba (Havana and Santiago de Cuba) and Brazil (Salvador and Olinda). She was trained u. a. from Khalifi-Dance-Ensemble (Ghana / D), Jürgen Fischer (Münster), John Santos from Machete Ensemble (USA), Dudu Tucci (Brazil / Berlin), Robyn Schulkowsky (USA / D), José Cortijo (E / D) .

At the beginning of the 1990s she worked as “Aye Bee Groove” with trendy DJanes and drummed live to “ house music ” at the Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Frankfurt and appeared in the European Gay Games.

The band now also includes the Brazilian drummer Angela Frontera (since 1998) and the salsa keyboardist Christiane Sattler (since 2016). The women's world music band toured with live concerts in Europe, the USA and Canada and released nine CDs.

The presenter, author and radio announcer from HR 3, Volker Rebell , who supports Anne Breick and her projects and bands, was a fan from the start .

In 1998 Anne Breick composed , arranged and staged the garbage percussion formation “Ten on Tons” on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Frankfurt garbage disposal. “Ten on Tons” play on rubbish bins, later samba instruments, cajones, congas and djembés were added. Now the ukuleles , helicon and soprano saxophone provided the melodies, combined with polyphonic ethnic songs.

She worked on the board from 1989 to 2014 on a voluntary basis and contributed to the establishment of the “Women's Music Office” in Frankfurt, which is committed to networking and supporting female musicians in POP and jazz music in Germany and Europe. In this context, she also acted as editor and music journalist for the women's music magazine “Rundbrief”. The newsletter began as an information sheet from “Frauenmachen Musik e. V. ”and was further developed into a women's music magazine by Anne Breick and Sabine Kemna and published from 1996 under the title“ Melodiva ”. 50 print editions were produced and distributed throughout Germany through bookshops and subscribers. To this day they form a documentation of the musicians in the pop music business. All editions (circular and Melodiva) are listed and available in the archive of the German National Library in Frankfurt. When print production was discontinued in 2001 with a special issue, Anne Breick ensured that it was continued as “Germany's 1st online women's music magazine Melodiva Net Club”.
