Morden, Manitoba, Canada (1985 – present)
Canadian singer and composer Loreena McKennitt is self-managed, self-produced and head of her own record label - Quinlan Road. In a recording career spanning three decades, McKennitt’s “eclectic Celtic” music has won critical acclaim worldwide and gold, platinum and multi-platinum sales awards in fifteen countries across four continents. Her most successful record is 1997’s “The Book of Secrets”, which spun off the single “The Mummers’ Dance”, a surprise hit on American Top 40 and alternative rock radio.
McKennitt blends world-music with folk, Celtic and exotic Mediterranean sounds using instruments such as the hurdy gurdy, kanoun, uilleann pipes, Turkish clarinet, bouzouki and nyckelharpa alongside traditional instruments like guitar, drums and bass and the harp, piano and accordion, the three instruments she plays.
Born in Morden, Manitoba, Canada in February 17, 1957, Loreena moved to Stratford, Ontario, Canada in 1981, where she still resides. She has acted and sung in, and composed music for, Stratford Festival of Canada productions ranging from The Tempest (1982) to The Merchant Of Venice (2001).
Her recording career began in 1985 with the album Elemental. In the fledgling years of her label Quinlan Road, Loreena ran its operations from her kitchen table, selling recordings by mail order and producing her own concert tours across the country.

Fala serio...se isso foi o que vc realmente quis dizer,seu comentário foi muito infeliz e vc não soube se expressar ¬¬ Quando alguém diz que a 1º pessoa nunca será a 2º é como se a 1º pessoa tivesse o intento de ser comparável a 2° e o seu comentário foi como um resposta de que a 1º nunca teria êxito. Mais uma vez se sua intenção foi dizer..."Justamente por elas serem diferentes, que uma nunca será como a outra!" Isso é fato E o que saiu foi..."nunca será uma Enya da vida... sem +" Seu comentário foi fraco,pobre,incoerente e dispensável...sem +

"O simples fato dessa comparação mostra o quanto tal pessoa desconhece completamente o estilo de ambas."Vcs leram o meu comentário? Justamente por elas serem diferentes, que uma nunca será como a outra! Bando de BURROS!

Minha nossa parece que as pessoas só conseguem elogiar um artista metendo o pau em outro.Será que não se pode enaltecer as qualidades da Loreena,dizer o quanto ela é maravilhosa e só...ou então ir na pagina da Enya e fazer o mesmo por lá,tem sempre um que quer fazer comparações tolas. O simples fato dessa comparação mostra o quanto tal pessoa desconhece completamente o estilo de ambas. A Enya nem devia ser citada nessa pagina apesar de eu também adorar as musicas dela

Gente burra é gente burra né. Catdaddy: "nunca será uma Enya da vida... sem +". Nunca mesmo, porque essa fulana é tão burrinha que nem percebe que Loreena e Enya são de estilos DIFERENTES, Enya é New Age total, enquanto Loreena foge do New Age comum pra cair num celta lindo e diferenciado <3
