Innovative choral group from Venezuela

[bhodges]

After hearing this excellent a cappella choral ensemble, Cantoría de Mérida, in a choral music compilation, I found this video of them singing "Binanma" by Alberto Grau, from just last April in Havana.  It looks like it was filmed by someone in the audience, so the video quality isn't so good, but the audio quality is better, and the performance is sensational.  Grau's piece asks them to produce quite an interesting variety of sounds.

Sensational indeed. Sounds like a cross between Messiaen's Cinq Rechants and Le Mystere de Voix Bulgare. Great find.
