I don't think there is a connection between the Bulgarian women's choir and Adiemus. The Bulgarian choir is a folk choir - i.e. they sing that way not because they're trained to sing that way, but because they've always sung that way. On the other hand, the wide-open singing style of the Adiemus choirs is like it is because Karl Jenkins specifically instructed Miriam Stockley (and Mary Carewe, and the Finnish singers) to sing that way. IMHO the choir on Shabda was just meant to sound like Adiemus with no connection with the Bulgarian women's choir. However, I do have the Brother Bear soundtrack, and I do admit they sound similar. But the similarity is only in the 'louder' part of the Shabda choir, and it exists only on the sonical level and not on the phonetical one: the Shabda choir sings in (partly invented) Latin, the Bulgarian women sing in Inuit.
