Difang and Igay Duana
Difang Duana (1921 - 2002) and Igay Duana (1922? - ?), Chinese names 郭英男 (Kuo Ying-nan) and Kuo Hsiu-chu (郭秀珠) were a husband-and-wife Amis couple from Taiwan who specialized in traditional Amis chants. They are internationally known for their performance of the traditional Amis "Elders' Drinking Song" which was plagarized by the musical project Enigma for their hit single Return to Innocence.
In 1988 Difang and Igay went to France to sing on a tour. Their performance was recorded by the Maison des Cultures du Monde (Institute for World Cultures). Enigma then used this CD without acknowledgment as a sample disc for their song, which was used to promote the 1996 Summer Olympics. The couple asked EMI to acknowledge the contribution of both the Amis' song and the Duanas' performance, but EMI ignored them. The issue was settled in court in July of 1999. The couple won a small settlement which they used to set up a scholarship fund for Amis children.
