Anima Mundi is a Cuban progressive rock band formed in 1996 that combines symphonic rock, new age, Celtic, space, and traditional Cuban music. Musically similar to the commercially-successful British symphonic acts of the 1970s, the group incorporates multiple layers of synthesizer-led progressions with a rhythmic and percussive backdrop of sharp bass and polyphonic drumming while showcasing the virtuosity of lead synthesizers and guitar. Their songs are characterized by lengthy instrumental suites divided by vocal passages with surreal and spiritual lyrics.

Members include founders and vocalists Roberto Diaz on guitars and Virginia Peraza on keyboards, accompanied by Yaroski Corredera on bass, Michel Bermúdez on lead vocals and Marco Alonso on drums. They have released five studio albums: Septentrión (2002), Jagannath Orbit (2008), The Way (2010), The Lamplighter (2013) and I Me Myself (2016). The latter three enjoyed worldwide success and received positive reviews. In 2012, the band released a recorded performance of their first show in Helmond, The Netherlands, on dual CD/DVD, titled Live in Europe.
