He mele mele ʻo Enya i hānau ʻia ma Mei 17, 1961 ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o Donegal ma ka Repubalika o ʻIlelani.
ʻO nā makahiki mua o ka mea mele
Ua wehewehe ke kaikamahine i kona hānai ʻana he "hauʻoli a mālie." I ka makahiki 3, ua komo ʻo ia i kāna hoʻokūkū hīmeni mua ma ka ʻaha mele makahiki. Ua komo pū ʻo ia i nā pantomimes ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Gwydora a hīmeni pū me kona mau kaikunāne ma ka papa mele o kona makuahine ma St Mary's Church ma Derrybag.
I ka makahiki 4, ua hoʻomaka ke kaikamahine e aʻo i ka hoʻokani piano, a ma ke kula ua aʻo ʻo ia i ka ʻōlelo Pelekane. I ka makahiki 11, ua uku ke kupunakane o Enya i ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana o kāna moʻopuna ma kahi kula hānai monastic koʻikoʻi ma Milford, i mālama ʻia e nā nuns o ke kauoha Loreto.
Ma laila, ua hoʻomohala ke kaikamahine i kahi ʻono no nā mele kahiko, nā kiʻi, Latin a me ka pena wai. "He mea weliweli ke kaʻawale ʻana mai kahi ʻohana nui, akā maikaʻi ia no kaʻu mele.”, wahi a Enya.
Ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ke kula ma 17 a ua aʻo ʻo ia i nā mele kahiko ma ke kulanui no hoʻokahi makahiki e lilo i kumu piano.
ʻO ka hana mele ʻo Enya
I ka makahiki 1980, ua komo 'o Enya i ka hui 'o Clannad (i loko o ka haku mele nā kaikunāne a me nā kaikuahine o ka mea mele). I ka makahiki 1982, haʻalele ʻo ia i ka hui e hoʻomaka i kāna ʻoihana solo ma mua koke o ka lilo ʻana o Clannad i kaulana me Theme From Harry's Game. I ka makahiki 1988, ua lanakila ka mea mele i kāna ʻoihana me ke mele mele ʻo Orinoco Flow (i kapa ʻia ʻo Sail i kekahi manawa).
ʻO kekahi o nā mele āna i hīmeni ai ma ʻIlelani a i ʻole Latin. Ua hoʻokani ka mea mele i nā mele i hiki ke lohe ʻia ma ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni "The Lord of the Rings", ʻo ia hoʻi: Lothlrien, May It Be a me Anron.
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaha makahiki ʻekolu, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Enya i ka album Watermark, i "haʻi" i loko o nā palapala o nā ʻāina ʻē. Ua hauʻoli koke ka mele Shepherd Moons i ka kaulana o ka honua.
ʻO ka hopena, ua kūʻai aku ʻo ia i 10 miliona mau kope a loaʻa iā ia ka makana Grammy mua no ka Album Best. Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui ia kūleʻa ma muli o ka mana Pelekane o ka Buke o nā lā hoʻokahi.
I ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻonui i kāna poʻe hālāwai, ua hoʻokuʻu hou ka mea mele i kāna album mua a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Enya ʻo The Celts.
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaha makahiki ʻelima ma waena o nā album, ʻo A Day Without Rain (2000 Reprise) ka album lanakila loa a ka mea mele, ʻo ka hapa nui ma muli o ka manawa wale nō. Ua lilo ke mele i mele i lohe ʻia ma nā lekiō nui a puni ka honua ma hope o ka hoʻouka kaua 11/XNUMX.
ʻEkolu makahiki ma hope mai, i Nowemapa 2000, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kāna album mua i loko o ʻelima mau makahiki, ʻo A Day Without Rain. He lanakila nui ia ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, a hiki i ka #1 ma ka Billboard 200 a me #4 ma nā palapala kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi ʻo Canada.
Ua kiʻekiʻe ka manawa wale nō ma ka helu 10 ma ka US Billboard Hot 100 a ua piʻi pū hoʻi i ka helu 1 ma ka pakuhi lewa ʻo Adult Contemporary. ʻO kēia no ka mea ua hopu ka mele i ke ʻano o ka lāhui ma hope o ka hoʻouka kaua 11/XNUMX.
I Nowemapa 2005, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album studio ʻeono a Amarantine, kahi i paʻi koke i nā papa kiʻi kiʻekiʻe 10 ma US a me Kanada. ʻO ke poʻo mele mele he 20 kiʻekiʻe loa i ka lekiō, e piʻi ana ma ka helu 12 ma ka pakuhi ʻo Billboard's Adult Contemporary.
ʻO ka album hou And Winter Came ... i puka mai i ʻekolu makahiki ma hope mai a paʻi i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe ma Kanada, US a me UK. Ua hoʻokumu mua ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he album Kalikimaka, ua hoʻomohala i kahi kumuhana hoʻoilo maʻamau, a ʻelua mau mele Kalikimaka kahiko i loko o ka album. Ua hopena ia i ka Top 30 Hot Adult Contemporary Trains a me Winter Rains singles.
ʻO ka album mele mua a ka mea mele
Ma ka album mua a Enya (BBC, 1987), i hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ʻo The Celts (WEA, 1992), ua haku ka mea mele i ke ʻano hana i loaʻa ai iā ia ka kaulana ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa: ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kani Irish kuʻuna, ka uila uila, synthesizer, bass, a ma luna aʻe. nā leo a pau, i hoʻonui ʻia i loko o nā leo he nui e hoʻāla i nā leo kupua a kahiko.
He mau pule ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kāna album mua, ua kau inoa ʻo Enya i kahi palapala hoʻopaʻa leo me Warner Music UK. Ua hana kēia ma muli o ke aloha o ka luna o ka lepili, ʻo Rob Deakins, i ka hana a ka mea pena.
Ma mua o ke kau inoa ʻana i ka ʻaelike, ua hālāwai ʻo ia me ia ma ka Irish Association Awards ma Dublin a hāʻawi ʻo ia e kau inoa i kahi ʻaelike. Ua hōʻoia ka ʻaelike i ke kūʻokoʻa o ke mele, ka liʻiliʻi o ke keakea ʻana mai ka lepili, a ʻaʻohe manawa palena no ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā album.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Deakins: "ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ua hoʻopau ʻia kahi ʻaelike e loaʻa ka loaʻa kālā, a i kekahi manawa e komo i ka hana hoʻomohala. ʻO ia ka mea hope loa. Ua makemake au e hui pū me ka hana a Enya. Hoʻokani hou au i kāna mele, lohe au i kahi mea hou, kū hoʻokahi, hana ʻia me ka ʻuhane. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke haʻalele i ka manawa kūpono a ma kahi hālāwai holoʻokoʻa ʻole e hāʻawi i ka hui.
Ma hope o ka haʻihaʻi ʻana o Enya i ka ʻaelike a komo i kahi ʻaelike me kahi lepili ʻē aʻe i mea e loaʻa ai ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ʻAmelika i kāna mau mele. Ua ʻae kēia i ka hoʻonui ʻana i kāna poʻe e hoʻolohe ai a lanakila i ka ʻike hou aʻe.
Nā makana ʻo Enya
Ua loaʻa i ka mea mele nā makana Grammy ʻehā. Eia kekahi, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi koho Oscar no nā leo kani. ʻO ka World Music Awards i ka makahiki 2006 ua hoʻohanohano ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila ʻoi loa ma ka honua.
