The text describes an eternal being that receives the ancestral light to form part of the stellar mantle. It provides support and guidance to those who are looking for a path. Lyrics And the shadow of twilight fades when the light of the ancestors forms a mantle that protects and guides us. A being illuminating the galaxies The certainty on the shipwrecked path The glint of existence, time and distance. The ancient aurora of golden light at the awakening of the dawn the eyes radiant with certainties condensed into rays of light. The eternal radiance of the soul: an instant of infinite distances and the birth of a million dawns.  less

Its components are professionals, whether Singers or related to other areas of music or those who, despite having another occupation, have a solid musical background and an extense vocal and choral experience.
