Enya has never been collaborating with Adiemus, this is a very bad example of misleading information circulating around the web!!!! Adiemus comprises of composer-conductor Karl Jenkins (a Welshman) and singers Miriam Stockley & Mary Carewe, whose voices have been multiplied and layered together for the song "Adiemus" and all the albums' other tracks as well. Miriam Stockley is actually from South Africa (now residing in the US and doing solo career), so there you can hear the African influence indeed!
