Concept

AnimaTerra Festival is a comprehensive auditory and visual experience where people come together to express their passion for eclectic music and showcase their artistic talents. Inspired by eastern philosophies each iteration will be rooted in one of the several symbolisms of life and will allow the seekers to explore their understanding and manifestation of the pillars of life. With the freedom to "Dress To Express" the Festival puts a major emphasis on inculcating a sense of community by combining diverse ethnic and folklore elements from cultures all over the world which are also expressed through music and visual arts.

Mission

AnimaTerra is a global initiative which started out as a creative platform for musicians, DJs, flow artists, performers and music lovers passionate about world downtempo music. It is also an attempt to view the world holistically with the physical and spiritual existing in a harmonious ensemble and interpret both incarnations through music, art, dance and meditation.

Our mission is to create a global community of devoted followers who transcend the barriers of the daily routine and embark on a journey back to themselves through soulful music and visual experience to be at home, celebrate life and feel alive.

After having hosted a series of successful events in Dubai and Moscow we are aiming to collaborate with labels, producers, performers and flow communities across the world to organise AnimaTerra Showcase events on different continents.
