We have talked with the guys about the story of the band, below the interview!

1. Hi guys, tell us when you formed Babysun?
Babysun was formed in 2009

2. Your Ep contains a number of styles, what is the genre of your sound?
We think it’s somewhere in the Alternative genre, maybe Electonic/Ambient Psychedelic Pop...to be honest we’re not really sure, you tell us.

3. What is the source of inspiration for the lyrics? Who writes them?
Vic writes the lyrics and they’re a combination of experiences, observation and personal views on everything from love, to politics.

4. What are the reasons by which you decide to give your band the name "Babysun"?
I liked the idea of something that suggested positivity and hope and that we are all little baby suns with a light to shine. I know, that sounds a bit hippy but hey.

5. Your album will be promoted in international media, what are your expectations?
We are just pleased to have a label who felt the material had a place and that people would like it. We don’t have any major expectations, just hope that the music can reach as many people as possible across the world and that they enjoy it.

6. To promote the record are you planning a live tour?
We would love to do some ‘live’ work as the project has been mainly a studio thing the last few years. Hopefully the EP release can generate enough of a buzz for us to entice a good ‘live’ agent or agents to help us co-ordinate that. So anyone out there who would like to get involved in that please contact us....we are here and ready to go.

7. Have you played in some important festivals?
Yes in the past we have played various festivals in the UK and some smaller events in Europe, we did open the Karel Muse Expo in Cagliari a few years ago too, that was particularly nice to be involved in.

8. I would like to have your own point of view about the poor sales of the CD's, it's causedby the internet? Technological development? or it's changed the mentality of the fans? 
I feel that maybe music isn’t so much of a ‘special’ thing to a lot of young people now as it’s so easily available and instant. Also the trend is for huge playlists of single tracks on personal devices now and not so much about having favourite bands/artists albums and becoming real fans and following that bands career the way I certainly would have done in my younger days...on the other hand the technological developments have given more new artists a platform to expose their music to the world, I believe that is a positive thing.

9. This is your first work for Brit Beat Records, what made you switch to them?
We were excited by the labels enthusiasm for the material and how much they wanted to help us promote the music.

10.Tell us a few funny anecdotes, in the past?
Vic was once quizzed by a rather drunk person at a ‘live’ show ‘How come if musicians were so good at what they did why couldn’t they create another music key like ‘H’ and why hadn’t it been done in all the years? He had no answer.

ANIMA MUNDI the prog rock from Cuba

The Cuban symphonic prog rock band ANIMA MUNDI came to life in the spring of 1996 due to the union of five friends who studied together to major as teachers of music. The band recorded three demos during these years: “Eterno Cauce” (1997), “Tierra Invisible” (1998) and “Más Allá” (1999). Anima Mundi quickly became an essential name among the alternative Cuban scene after offering the first live shows and appearing on specialized radio broadcastings and by means of a nonstop working, they didn’t take long to become the main progressive rock national band for the surprise and delight of many.

Due to the success achieved in national soil, Anima Mundi began planning its first album in 1999. Two guest musicians showed up when the band was composing the songs for the new record. Both of them played the Galician bagpipes, the Celtic flute and the Tin Whistle. This period was characterized by particularities in the band sonority, very different to what they had been doing, and this new shift continued, later on, as a neo prog symphonic rock with Celtic hints found in the album “Septentrión”, 2001.
In July 2002, Mellow Records from Italy released “Septentrión”. During this year, Anima Mundi had the chance of playing all along the island and giving large and important concerts that increased the band audience to thousands of fans.

In August 2002, Anima Mundi began recording its second album “Jagannath Orbit” which turns the band to its initial sound. Hard years approached marked by difficulties in the album production and leaving of some musicians. Those years were characterized by constant changes in the band line up because of the problem in finding skillful musicians who were prepared to face this music genre. Anima Mundi spent all that time looking for a way to make its album productions totally independent, and participated in few concerts and some national rock festivals, supported by guest musicians on the drums and bass.

After years of work, the band finished the production of its second album, “Jagannath Orbit”, coincident to the arriving and joining of new musicians, in 2007. The album was released in October 2008 by the French label Musea Records. From this moment on, the new recording started being distributed in Europe and the rest of the world. “Jagannath Orbit” had remarkable critics globally. This released marked a favorable turn for the band. 
This same year 2008, Anima Mundi back to the studios for producing its third album called “The Way”. It was released in October 2010 by Musea Record. This album has been the most Anima Mundi successful releasing so far. Well acclaimed world wide “The Way” brings Anima Mundi to the first places of progressive top list 2010.

Is not a secret that Anima Mundi has walked step by step the way to successfully introducing itself among the varied and abundant present day progressive rock scene worldwide. The present line up is shaped by José Manuel Govín on drums, Yarosky Corredera on bass, Carlos Sosa on vocals and the historical leaders and founders Virginia Peraza on keyboards and Roberto Díaz on guitars and vocals. 

Members: Roberto Díaz, Virginia Peraza, Yaroski Corredera, Emmanuel Pirko Farrath, Manuel Govin 
ex-member: Carlos Sosa
