Era was the brainchild of French composer Eric Lévi. Blending Gregorian chants with rock and electronic music (a style often called "Gregorian-influenced new age" or "symphonic trance"), Era's self-titled debut album in 1996 was a slow-burn success. But "Divano," with its majestic buildup and cinematic power, became the breakout single.
The lyrics, often mistaken for Latin or Italian, are actually a made-up pseudo-Language—yet they evoke a sense of ancient ritual and epic grandeur. The track became a global phenomenon thanks to its music video, which featured futuristic warrior monks, metal spheres, and cinematic desert landscapes. download divano era mp3
