The beginnings of Anawak date back to 1998 when its Mexican founder Ana Cihuacoatl participated as a solo singer in different types of ceremony around Mexico:
Oaxaca with the Mazatecos, sacred Wixarika places in northern Mexico, central Mexico with Aztec tradition, Teotihuacan in "Danza de la luna" and Danza del Sol Lakota, on the international beach of Zipolite Oaxaca for 15 consecutive years.
It is from 2003, when Ana Cihuacoatl begins to perform ceremonial songs and dances in a scenic way and founded ANAWAK, inviting talented singers and dancers to be part of the project.
