Enya - song of the sandman lullaby

Описание: Enya (born Eithne Ní Bhraonáin; Irish pronunciation: [ˈɛnʲə nʲiː ˈvˠɾˠiːn̪ˠaːnʲ], anglicised as Enya Brennan; 17 May 1961) is an Irish singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter.

Enya began her musical career in 1980, when she briefly joined her family band Clannad before leaving to perform solo. She gained wider recognition for her music in the 1986 BBC series The Celts. Shortly afterwards, her 1988 album Watermark propelled her to further international fame and she became known for her distinctive sound, characterised by voice-layering, folk melodies, synthesised backdrops and ethereal reverberations.[2] She has performed in 10 languages.[3]

Enya continued to enjoy steady success during the 1990s and 2000s; her 2000 album A Day Without Rain sold 15 million copies,[4] and became the top selling new age album of the 2000s in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[5] She was named the world's best selling female artist of 2001.[6] She is Ireland's best-selling solo musician[7] and is officially the country's second-largest musical export after the band U2.[8] Her records sales were more than 75 million worldwide,[9] with over 26.5 million in album sales in the US.[10] Her work has earned her four Grammy Awards and an Academy Award nomination.
