Comprised of producer / composer / instrumentalist Ali Calderwood and Vocalist / Songwriter Lana Lanaia (Daniela Lanaia), Anima is an offering love to the Earth and all Her relations. They are based in the Highlands of Scotland, where they write and produce Anima’s inspirational music, blending meditative and rich soundscapes, infused with deep ambience, ethereal, nurturing vocals, ancient tones, sacred sound and a variety of world instruments. Living immersed in the wilds of our Mother Earth, Anima have been guided by deep connections with the land and original peoples in ancient ways of healing and remembrance. They are the co-founders of the Sacred Living Earth Trust – a vision and sanctuary space dedicated to the protection and restoration of our sacred, living Earth. Anima is a word found in various languages and cultures, and means soul, breath, air, life force and feminine spirit energy. It is this sacred energy of the Great Mother that inspires their work, and that radiates out as “the energy of unconditional healing and love” felt in their music. Anima emerged in 2004, releasing their debut album “Celestial Baptism”, and later, “Star Ancestory”. In 2006-7 while living in the Amazon of Peru and the Andes of Bolivia, recorded their album “Lemuria Emerging”. Anima have now released 15 titles, including the compilation album “Light” published by New World Music, and 2 compilation SACD's released in Japan.
