Pa un par

Pa un par (On and About) is an album by the Latvian A cappella vocal group Cosmos, that was released on the UPE record label in 2005. The album features original and cover songs in Latvian and English. The recording is entirely vocal, with no instruments used in any of the arrangements.

Reception

The review by Elie Landau in The Recorded A Capella Review Board (RARB) states: "On a sound/performance level, these guys are top-notch, reminding me a lot of baSix and/or perhaps a hipper version of The King's Singers (the similarity to KS goes beyond the six man, two countertenor makeup of both groups — Cosmos covers the KS version of Blackbird on this album)."
