Anastasia was a semi-acoustic folk punk band from Malmö, Sweden, lead by singer/guitarist Lasse Qvint, with Dekel Carlström (drums), Loffa Persson (bass), Daniel Bexell (accordion, guitar, mandolin, piano), and Anette Mårtensson (violin). The band was active during the 1990s and released, among other things, the album "Kickar & Kaos". Anastasia's music is a sort of mix between punk, sped-up singer/songwriter tunes, and Swedish folk music, a mix that was very popular in Sweden for a brief period in the 90s, with bands like Traste Lindéns Kvintett, Perssons Pack, and Bombyces Bryggeri. 4. Anastasia Rizikov, going simply by Anastasia professionally. She is a classical pianist from Canada, born December 8, 1998. Per Renée Silberman at The Beat Magazine, January 21, 2014, Anastasia is an extraordinary virtuoso, with abundant technical prowess. Her albums include Reminiscent and others. Please see her Wikipedia page for more complete information, including her list of other albums recorded. 5. ANASTASIA is a Latin-American singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, California. 6. Anastasía is an artist and musician with roots in Greek folk tradition, country, and a wide range of other musical styles. She grew up in the small fishing village of Karavomylos in eastern Greece as the fourth child in the musical Grivogiannis-Forsberg family, where singing and guitar playing were a natural part of everyday life. At the age of eight, she moved with her family to Sweden, settling in Angered, a suburb of Gothenburg. Today, Anastasía is a member of several groups, including the legendary progg band Nynningen, the psych-pop group Givana, the cover trio Country efter jobbet, and Greek Folk Collective. She has also appeared in acclaimed collaborations such as Tomma Intet's genre hit "Det Stora Blå" and Stefan Sundström's "Farväl Romina." Particularly significant for her debut album has been Country efter jobbet — over the past five years, the trio has regularly performed a popular Alf Robertson set at a frequently sold-out Fyrens Ölkafé, laying the foundation for her deep and personal connection to Robertson's songs. Through her many projects, Anastasía has established a strong presence and a reputation as one of the greatest vocal talents on Gothenburg's rich music scene. Note: "Anastasia" is often mixed up to the female pop-singer Anastacia. Anastasia is also associated with two 20th Century Fox films of the same name. Anastasia (1956) / Anastasia (1997)
