Kuo Shiu-Chu

Igay Duana (August 9, 1922 – May 16, 2002), Chinese name Kuo Shiu-chu (郭秀珠), was an Amis farmer from Taiwan. Together with her husband she became known as a folk music duo who specialized in traditional Amis chants. Their most recognized work is a performance of a traditional Amis Palang song, alternately called "Weeding and Paddyfield Song No. 1", "Elders' Drinking Song", and "Jubilant Drinking Song", or Sapiliepah a Radiw in the Amis language. The song was recorded by a French government project and EMI, and was subsequently sampled by the musical project Enigma for their international hit single Return To Innocence.
