Site Author
Hello, I am the author of this amiina website: aminamusic.com. I’m also a big fan of performers and bands including Radiohead, Sigur Rós, Björk, Röyksopp, The Arcade Fire, The Books, Air: ultimately, I love artists who are doing something new or challenging traditional methods. Amina fall into this category.
I first saw amiina perform when they opened for Sigur Rós at The Lowry Theatre in Manchester on 9 July 2005. I saw Amina a second time the following evening. Again, they were supporting Sigur Rós at Somerset House in London on 10 July 2005.
amiina is a group who I feel deserve as much promotion as possible: people need to experience what amiina are doing. This website endeavours to help people who have heard something about amiina to find out more.
Why not pop a message in the forums or send me an email at site -AT- aminamusic -DOT- com.

Movable Type has an extensible architecture, thus allowing the addition of plugins. This site is utilitising both Markdown and SmartyPants plugins, authored by Jon Gruber of Daring Fireball.
