Los Chicos de la Escolanía, from the
Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo, is a very special choral group from
Spain. In 1995 they had an international hit with the song "Nirvana".
They also had a very unique sound then, that was sort of a cross between
Enigma, and Hildegard Von Bingen. At that time they were known
collectively as Elbosco. There are three
things that we have in common with Heaven while we are still here on
Earth. They are Light, Love, and Music. Los Chicos de la Escolanía
possesses all three in great abundance. It is interesting to note that
the Los Chicos de la Escolania choir is comprised of young men between
the ages of nine and fourteen, and they all live in The Real Monasterio
de San Lorenzo (located North of Madrid). The monastery was built in
the 16th century by Fillip II, when Spain was considered one of the
greatest and most powerful empires on Earth. Astrologers, sorcerers,
physicians and architects sought out the monastery as a supremely
magical and strategic location. The Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo has a cool website that can be found at this link: Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo - Official Website In this edition of The Aurora Angels we are featuring Los Chicos de la Escolanía singing "The Flower Duet (Sous le dôme épais)",
from Léo Delibes' haunting, and mystical opera, "Lakmé". This
song has been featured in many movies, and television commercials.
