Enya's Personal Portrait (20 photos) Enya was born in a small village in Donigor County in 196 1, which is the surviving Gaelic dialect.
Enya in life (20 photos) Enya comes from the ancient Celtic goddess of the same name. She was born into a family of folk music. She rearranged Irish traditional folk songs and formed a unique music creation, which is actually a musical reproduction of Ye Zhi and Joyce's successful experience in poetry and novels. Since the mid-1980s, it has become a new star in the international music scene. His works include Watermark (1988), Shepherd's Moon (199 1 year), Celts (1992), Memory of Trees, etc. From these names, we can see that the magical spiritual way that connects people with everything is the basis of musical fantasy. This pre-modern spiritual way, combined with post-modern high-tech recording technology, has great spiritual functions: magnificent and mysterious music brings people into a surreal and ethereal world. His music has been warmly sought after by music critics and listeners all over the world, and he has won the champion of new era music charts for many times, and even been hailed as "post-new era music".
Eternal music
She is a Celtic from Ireland. As one of the representatives of music in the new era, her voice is pure and quiet, which washes away the impetuousness of the world for us. With her singing, you can wander in the vast ocean, mountains, vast forests, boundless plains, the sky of Wan Li, and even tightly wrap your atmosphere. Only by being worthy of the "natural" voice can you arouse your subconscious to fly. Yes, Enya, the flawless soul, breathes every word like the breath of an angel, and only Enya's voice can ferment the emotion that is getting more and more mellow in the corner of my heart, a voice that really resonates with the listener. At the end of the century, those who needed comfort were comforted by truth, goodness and beauty in Enya's songs, and at the same time embraced the joy of pure rebirth. ENYA
We look for Amarantin in her music. She tells us with music that everyone's life is actually a long journey. Some things say goodbye, and everyone's life will always have it in the rain. Whenever this time is a moment of loss, maybe people are always thinking about me tomorrow. At this time, people always hope that it will not rain one day. However, life is often like this. Usually people always want to rely on external forces, but they don't know that Sumiregusa is actually in everyone's heart. In fact, everyone is a wild child, everyone wants to get rid of the lazy days, and everyone wants to be influenced by the gobbledygook. Enya gave us the answer with her music and opened a window to the pure world of the soul, because she always asked herself: How can I not sing? Listen to Enya's music, and your heart will enter a heavenly world with this wonderful and sacred music. In Enya's music world, all you can feel is that time passes quietly like a river. When night falls, the shepherd's moon renders the sky blue in the Caribbean and embellishes the sky with stars; ; In Enya's music world, everywhere, memory is like a faint watermark, which goes and leaves no trace, but the water shows the hidden heart, so Enya will take us to find the perishable memory of trees on my way home; In Enya's music world, Enya is like a China rose in full bloom in a marble hall. No matter whether it is the current of Orinoco River or the storm in Africa, once you have gold, hope will have a place.
