[Arcturian Gate]

The CRC Children's Choir in Beijing sing in a very ancient Mandarin dialect that hasn't been spoken for centuries. The chorus and bridge are made-up phonetics, chosen for their "shape". AOMUSIC songs are "universal" with no special allegiance to a particular nation or ethnic group, which lends to a primary message of GLOBAL UNITY. The composers are careful that no main body of lyrics or style are well known to a particular region. The Beijing Olympic Committee chose AOMUSIC for this reason.

What is the meaning of 'On Jai Ya'?

[Arcturian Gate]

The lyrics of this song are "made up" phonetics like many of the songs produced by AO... The idea is to hold no allegiance to any particular ethnicity, so the sound is exotic from wherever on the earth you're from... The intended impression is a sense of "UNITY"... Thanks for asking!

This is phenomenal. What a short piece of video and a beautiful musical presentation can do! It shows our cultures are all coming to a new exposure to one another. Most of all, we are praying for usa & china & the countries of the world. Thanks!
