#music Today I would like to talk to you about a musical quartet whose songs fascinate me, although most of their songs are from other singers or bands, and that makes it interesting because they give it that nice touch with their 4 voices, his singing is what makes it special for his melodious voices and that's why I want to share with you a little about them:

Il Divo is a vocal quartet of male singers that was formed in England in 2003 and are currently very famous all over the world. The band consists of Urs Bühler, Carlos Marín, David Miller and Sébastien Izambard.

How is grouping given?

A famous English producer promoted the formation of this musical group after witnessing a performance of the show Three Tenors. Thus, in 2001 he decided to form a multinational quartet of young talents that would combine voice and physical appearance, and that would try to sound like Luciano Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo together. For this, Cowell performed a worldwide search to find the best voices, he wanted four men who, after passing the casting were willing to get into the project Il Divo.

The search, through casting in 21 countries, lasted two years, from 2001 to December 2003, when David Miller became the fourth and last member to sign the contract. This is how Il Divo was created, starting with three classically trained members and a pop singer. Adopted by England, it is said to be a British group, as their recording studio is located in London, but is actually stateless as its members are German (Carlos Marín), Swiss (Urs Toni Bühler), French (Sébastien Izambard) and American (David Miller).

What have you achieved on this tour?

Since its inception Il Divo has enjoyed great popularity, achieved a projection that every group would like, with more than 35 million albums sold worldwide and more than 160 gold and platinum albums in 35 countries. The band has made a big change in classical music by creating a new musical style, called opera pop or opera, within the classic crossover genre.

Here I share some songs from them:

• Come back to me
• Adagio
• Until my end
• The Power of Love
• Without you
• Amazing grace
