The other day I came across a amazing song by the Polish band Dikanda -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIFQESCIbRc . This song is in what the band
itself calls "Dikandish". Does anyone know whether it's gibberish or an actually
constructed language?

Same question for Enya.

And do you know of any other bands singing in constructed languages? I know many bands
singing in Esperanto, one band rapping in Klingon and one Lojban song.

I'd love to hear the groups using Klingon and Lojban, just to hear how it sounds! Would you be able to share their names?

Sprachprofi, Enya sings in Irish. I heard that Irish is her first language, not sure how true that is though.

Yes, somewhere I read that Enya was indeed brought up in the Gaeltacht, and that she speaks Irish with her family.

With respect to Enya and the original question about conlangs, she sings in Quenya and Sindarin on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack:
The All-Knowing Wikipedia wrote:
The lyrics of this theme song [May it be] include English words, and words in the fictional Elvish language, Quenya...

Enya also performed the song "Aníron" for The Lord of the Rings, which is sung in Tolkien's Elvish language, Sindarin.[5] While Enya wrote music, [her lyricist] Roma Ryan studied the languages and wrote the lyrics in English and Quenya.[7]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_It_Be


It's technically a recon lang, but Eluveitie sings in reconstructed Gaulish, with some of the lyrics by the Celtic scholar, David Stifter. That's mentioned on this thread:

It's not a band, as far as I know, but pfn123 pointed out people singing in Volapük in his log.
