3	Era (styled as +eRa+) is a French NewAge music project headed by composer Eric Lévi.
4
5	Most of their lyrics are written by Guy Protheroe using words and phrases that, although sounding [[OminousLatinChanting similar to Greek or Latin]], are in fact deliberately devoid of any exact meaning. Also notable for providing the soundtrack to the medieval-themed TimeTravel comedy film series ''Film/LesVisiteurs''.

7	!!Albums:
8	* ''Era'' (1996)
9	* ''Era 2'' (2000)
10	* ''The Mass'' (2003)
11	* ''Reborn'' (2008)
12	* ''Arielle Dombasle by Era'' (2013)
13
14	!!They provide examples of:
15
16	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: As long as it sounds Latin, to be exact. The lyrics are actually meaningless. The title of one of their songs, Divano, translates to "couch".
17	* AssociatedComposer: Eric Lévi has worked with director Jean-Marie Poiré five times -- ''Film/LOperationCornedBeef'', the ''Film/LesVisiteurs'' trilogy and ''Film/GuardianAngels''.
18	* CanisLatinicus: All the fake Latin at least sounds convincing enough.
19	* GratuitousLatin: Omnipresent; except in the songs where portions of the lyrics are in English, French, or Arabic instead.
20	* OminousLatinChanting: It's generally not real Latin, but it sounds ominous all the same. Outstanding examples are "Enae Volare" and "Sins". "The Mass" however is essentially "O Fortuna" but in their style, and oddly repeats the refrain from "Divano".
21	* OneWomanWail: Many of their songs feature female vocalists in the lead, such as "Tiesto Demoni".
