A new age hit from the 90's.

Elbosco was the name of a joint Spanish musical group consisting of the mixture of a boy choir with adult instrumentalists and soloists. The boys belong to the choir of the El Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo (a.k.a. El Escorial), all between 9 and 14 years old. The music is a mixture of Gregorian chants, classical music, hip-hop and techno, with a mixture of Latin and English vocals. The result is similar to that of the group Enigma. In 1995, the group released the disk "Angelis", and they achieved international fame with the hit song Nirvana.

This song is mixing Christianity with Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Jainism and probably some other religions too, so the result has a strong Bahá'í flavour.

The name "Elbosco" comes from the great Dutch painter "Hieronymus Bosch", known in Spain (and now in most countries too) as "El Bosco".

Latin was the language spoken in ancient Rome and all the Roman Empire, and for centuries, it was the language used all throughout Europe for religion and for culture. Religious services were in Latin, scientific books were written in Latin, Universities used Latin and Latin was the ligua franca for commerce and everything. When the Catholic Church stopped using Latin in its religious services in 1965, Latin became definitely a dead language, except for the smallest country in the world, the Vatican City, where it is still official language. Modern Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian and some other laguages are nothing but modern dialects of Latin, but Latin also had an enormous influence in English (about half the English vocabulary comes from Latin). The international names for all animals and plants are also in Latin.
