The theme is:

ENYA

Her real name is Eithne Ni Bhraonain, an Irish name which translates to Eithne Brennan in English. Eithne is pronounced 'Enya' and she chose to use this pseudo-phonetic spelling professionally so that she could be known by her own name but avoid the inevitable pronunciation problems.
Eithne was born on May 17th 1961, the fourth youngest of nine children. Although fronted by Enya herself, the music released under her name is the result of a collaboration between Enya (music/arrangements), Nicky Ryan (production/arrangements) and Roma Ryan (lyrics). Enya has said in several interviews that without any one of them 'Enya' could not exist. Enya's non-English songs are generally sung in Irish which is her first language. Of the others, three are sung in Latin (Cursum Perficio, Afer Ventus, Pax Deorum), one is in Welsh (Dan Y Dwr), and one in Spanish (La Sonadora).


1987 - Enya

In the Irish mythology Eithne was the name of a Goddess, who, according to her father, should never marry because prophecy stated that her husband would kill him. So he locked her away on a remote island. There, Eithne fell in love with a shepherd and they secretly married. Some years later her husband killed Eithne's father in a quarrel.
