I’m not quite sure what it is with the French and New Age music - remember, of course, that this is the country that gave the world Jean-Michel Jarre, the godfather of the genre who plays huge arena shows of massive complexity around the world on a regular basis - but you can count Era, too, alongside the country’s contribution to the style. They’ve sold over twelve million albums of their pseudo-Latin records to date, with all proving hugely successful in their homeland. As is so often the case with this kind of music, though, it really comes to life onstage, with a huge cast of musicians who serve as both orchestra and choir, a selection of lead, female vocalists, and some incredible, interpretive visuals on a huge screen behind the stage lending a transcendental aspect to their most unique of musical styles. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the sheer scale of the production, they only sporadically put on these shows, but they’re certainly a treat for the eyes and the ears when they do take place.
