Irish Thought for April 11...

Irish Musicians

Enya

Irish singer, composer, and musician Enya was born on May 17, 1961.  Her musical career began in 1980 in her family's group, Clannad.  Her solo music gained recognition in the 1986 BBC series The Celts, and her follow-up album Watermark, with its unique, ethereal sound, and its soaring single, "Orinoco Flow", propelled her to international fame.  By 2001, Enya became Ireland's best-selling solo musician and the country's second-largest musical export.  (Woo Hoo for U2!)  Enya has sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and earned four Grammy awards.
