I have been listening to music from around the world for as long as I can remember. After classical training, there was a moment in my teenage years — I was seventeen — when I purchased a vinyl record collection from Decca filled with ethnic music and chants.

I sang along with Bulgarian chant ensembles, Gregorian monks, Moroccan music groups, Ravi Shankar, Japanese koto masters, and many other voices from different cultures. Those recordings shaped my ear and deeply influenced the way I would later approach my own music.

Where World Music Meets Ethereal Atmosphere

I eventually discovered Real World Music, founded by Peter Gabriel. His work helped bring global traditions into modern atmospheric soundscapes.

One of the groups that influenced me was Deep Forest. While more rhythmic than Enya, Deep Forest shares that immersive, transporting quality.

Another artist often mentioned alongside Enya is Loreena McKennitt. Like Enya, she blends Celtic resonance with global instrumentation, creating a timeless atmosphere.

My Own Musical Path

In my albums, I blend acoustic, percussive, and wind instruments with airy, layered vocals. Many listeners who search for music similar to Enya tell me they connect with that same spacious calm and luminous vocal harmony.

Sometimes composing feels less like invention and more like discovery — as if the song was revealed rather than constructed.

Memoria is one of those pieces.

When I recorded it, I felt drawn toward Gregorian resonance and Latin sonorities — something sacred and contemplative.

You can also begin with pieces such as Yéku, Lux Eterna, Breathe and Pace’s Lullaby, all of which reflect different colors of Marcomé’s ethereal new age vocal world.
