Anisa has also concertized with maestro Angel Romero and with the Romeros Quartet.

In 1991, Anisa founded the Angarola Guitar Quartet combining a group of international guitarists to commission new repertoire for guitar ensemble. Urban Toys by Lloyd Rogers and Quartet in C by minimalist Michael Bayer have been premiered by her quartet, which was critically acclaimed for its precision and virtuosic performances by the Los Angeles Times and by the European press.

A long-time fan of Ireland's musical tradition, Anisa's Irish Airs and Dances was on the ballot of the 1992 Grammy awards. With ten-time All-Ireland Champion, fiddler Seamus Connolly, she recorded in Dublin for Radio Telefís Éireann, that performance now part of the RTÉ archives. Anisa has recorded and performed numerous times with Mr. Connolly, most recently on her CD Birdwatcher Hill.
