Chants Encounter (Chance encounter)

The monks at a small monastery in Silos, Spain have suddenly become pop-music strs. Twenty years ago, they recorded some 1,400 years old Gregorian chants. Last year that recording sold over a million copies in the res of Eupore. The buyers are mostly young poeple attrated by peaceul, relaxing sounds of the chanting. Fame hasn't changed life at the monastery, but the monks hope their music will eave a lasting impression.
