The boy from Enigma actually recorded the aboriginal Taiwanese performers illegally in Paris, I believe, chopped up and remixed the recording to produce the wonderful melody you hear in the song. In went John Bonham's sampled drum beat from When The Levee Breaks and there you have it. Enigma tried to get away with using the vocals for free (shocking) until the original Taiwanese performers heard it, sued them and won. It's an incredible song, but the way it was put together, saddens me a little.

@rwdl1 ...then take heart ...Cretu used recordings of Difang and Igay Duana he had thought to be public domain. The Duanas sued Cretu and the record company because they recieved no recognition in the credits or royalities from sales. France denied the recording had been made public domain in France (total fib) and hosted the civil trial. They held the record company blameless and came down full weight on Cretu. Although the Duanas won in principle France kept the cash award as 'court costs'

This is not Native American, that's a common mistake, it is actually a Taiwanese chant. I also made this mistake and walked down the isle to it at my wedding thinking it was Native American as I am almost 1/2 Cherokee.

@hmf099 but it's still an amazing song and I'm glad I used it in my wedding. It's beautiful and I love it.

[MrGreenV8]

singer is Enya

[kytty1986]

@MrGreenV8 Enya does not sing in this song, is Michael Cretu and for woman's voice i belive that it is his wife, but i;m not so sure. I would love to hear a colaboration between those 2 artists

[andronie]

@kytty1986 you are right ...this song it's played by Michael Cretu and his then wife Sandra

[PeraltaRio]

Apesar de Enya ser uma excelente cantora e até poderia cantar "Return To Innocence", mas não é e nem é ela que esta cantando neste video .....

Although Enya is an excellent singer and could even sing "Return to Innocence", but is not, nor is she is singing in this video .....

@PeraltaRio So, who is the person?

[PeraltaRio]

@brunogomespaes "Return to Innocence" is a 1994 song created by the musical group Enigma.

Actually, this is not Native American chant. This is a drinking song of one of the aboriginal tribes of Taiwan. I'm not sure if it's the Tayal or the Amei.
