Anima Mundi (band)

Anima Mundi is a progressive rock band from Cuba that was founded in 1996 and combines symphonic rock, new age, Celtic, space, and traditional Cuban musical styles in their compositions. The band has also developed their own distinctive sound, which reminds of the echoes of the great progressive rock dinosaurs from the 70's while at the same time introducing their own views and perspectives of the progressive rock tendencies of the new millennium. The lyrics of their songs are as well an intriguing mix of mysticism, spirituality and fantasy, and were written mainly by the band leader, guitar player and composer Roberto Díaz.

Current members include Roberto Díaz on guitars and vocals, Virginia Peraza on keyboards and vocals, Yaroski Corredera on bass, Emmanuel Pirko Farrath on lead vocals and José Manuel Govin on drums. To this date (2016), they have released five commercial studio albums: Septentrión (2002), Jagannath Orbit (2008), The Way (2010), The Lamplighter (2013) and I Me Myself (2016). The three last ones enjoyed worldwide success and received excellent reviews. In 2012, the band also released a live dual DVD and CD titled "Live in Europe", which portrays their first show in Helmond, The Netherlands, during their 2011 European tour.
