Enigma (musical project)

Enigma is a musical project started by Michael Cretu and his wife Sandra Cretu in 1990. Michael is both the composer and the producer; Sandra often provides vocals on Enigma tracks. The pair have also worked together under the name Sandra.

Influence

Cretu's project also led to the creation of several other bands and further popularising the tribal music genre. Era and Gregorian (led by former Enigma member David Fairstein) are among some notable groups which capitalised songs which heavily incorporate Gregorian chants. Delerium's Semantic Spaces album, B-Tribe's Fiesta Fatal! album and Sarah Brightman's song, "Eden" are some examples of being influenced by Enigma's works.
