In the Temple of Anima Universale, at the end of the Darshan, we celebrated and remembered with new music ramia Paolo Conti, who on his website VivaLaMusika described himself as a monk by vocation, a musician by passion, and a chef on occasion.

The new music is the work of Phil Mer, an exceptionally talented drummer and close friend of Swami Roberto. He has played with the Pooh, Zucchero, Pino Daniele, Ornella Vanoni, and many other famous Italian singers.

Phil Mer is also an excellent composer and arranger, and in honor of Ramia Paolo, he wanted to make a beautiful and important gift to Anima Universale: a new arrangement of our anthem “Il Canto di un Ramirico” (The Song of a Ramirian), which Ramia Paolo composed and produced many years ago.
