a unique brand of folk combining traditions…”
— The Reykjavík Grapevine, 2024
Earnest, intimate, heartfelt, delicate: Andervel is the music project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist José Luis Anderson. Born and raised in Mexico, formed in Iceland, Andervel has succeeded in creating a unique brand of folk combining carefully crafted lyrics in Spanish, English and Icelandic, with a sound influenced by the ethereal touch of Iceland and traditional Mexican music.
Andervel acts as a homage to the worlds that converge within them, their background in classical singing and their maturation in the Icelandic scene.

Andervel has performed extensively in Iceland, as well as internationally, touring in the Faroe Islands in 2021 and partaking in cultural events in Denmark, Estonia, Oslo, Canada and Austria and México
Andervel is currently working on a new album, drawing inspiration from the currents of Icelandic and Hispanic poetry.
