Animus began in 1995 as an Acoustic duo founded by Bill Koutsouros and Deb Cervone. Bill and Deb had previously played in Black Rainbow, an original Cheltenham based Rock Fusion band. As time went on, the acoustic duo wanted more, adding ever increasing amounts of diverse musical instruments and musicians... and here we are today!
Animus has produced two CD's: "Animus Live at the Tin Angel" & "Animus - world fusion" and is currently working on a new recording project. Animus is featured on "Lurainya's Realm" DVD, "Taboo Glass" documentary video, WYBE's "Culture Shots" TV commercials and has performed live on NBC 10's morning show "10!".

Animus' diversity makes them great just about anywhere. Venues range from coffee shops, bookstores, restaurants, bars, clubs, theaters, concert halls, galleries, museums, community centers, churches and synagogues. Animus has performed roving entertainment in traditional festive costumes at Trump Taj Mahal and Foxwoods Casinos. *Upon request we have several traditional belly dancers, ethnic fusion dancers and Greek, Turkish and Arabic Singers who can perform with us.
