My wife and I attended the MW Tokyo 2001 keynote. The last music played at the intro was a kind of ethnic chanting that sounded very familiar but I can't place it. Does anyone know the name of it?
Definitely not Kitaro. Long ago someone posted this but now I can't find it. To my ears it sounded vaguely like the Bulgarian women's folk group that was touring the US a few years ago.
I live in Tokyo too and was at the keynote. It is interesting that it is Karl Jenkins..... I really like the Palladio (diamonds) music..... I was kind of disapointed about thr delay for this year.... but hopefull htat means times for more surprises1

They are correct. The music is Rain Dance by Karl Jenkins. I just downloaded it with sputnix (just to confirm it).
