Anima latina (Latin soul) is an album by the Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in December 1974 by Numero Uno. The album was arranged and produced by the lyricist Mogol and Battisti in its entirety, with performances by various semi-unknown musicians. It is considered one of Battisti's masterpieces for signalling a significant departure from his previous records. Anima latina was Italy's eighth best-selling album of 1975.

The album

Anima latina was meant by Battisti as an experiment, "the exact point of rupture between [his] yesterday and [his] tomorrow". It is conceived as a return to basics, to the "Mediterranean creative spirit" that Battisti had concealed being heavily influenced by English and American artists. The album features Latin-oriented rhythms and instruments.
