I quite like the girl who sings this, Dua Lipa... brave lady who left her family in the balkans and came to London aged 15, working as a waitress until she made it in music.
I've had a really weird day musically, my iPhone somehow slipped into Shuffle mode.
I started of with Madness then Marc Almond then Mantavani onto Black Sabbath, Queen, a random selection of 80's interspersed with all of the above but Mantavani was the most played and I only bought it on a whim. It all worked well together in a weird way, my patients loved it.
It can alter moods, calm us, move us, heal us. It is wonderful, apart from bagpipes No wonder Hadrian built a wall to keep those heathen hordes safe to hunt haggis, invent kilts and eat porridge ... (naughty corner beckons ...)
There are several music styles I had to learn to appreciate: dub reggae, opera, blue grass, free form jazz ... and finally bagpipes done punk ozzie style

This man has some amazing skills at the trumpet... his father invented the quarter-tone trumpet, which can play Lebanese folk music, and while Ibrahim Maalouf was brought up in France, you can hear the native influences in his play, just awesome!

Or if you liked guitar... Rodrigo y Gabriela is a Mexican duo who do amazing guitar music, mixing in percussive elements with wonderfully quick interchanges...

Great to fall to sleep to or wake up on, haven't tried it for meditating though, but beautiful. And by a Dutch composer, Simeon Ten Holt.
Been listening to a lot of industrial lately, like Dead Animal Assembly Plant.
(P.S., For those who know me, I make a cameo in the video between 1:54 and 2:04.)
Impressive, @Jason. You look great in a tie.....
I have no idea what they are singing, but its great

Sums things up nicely for me. I'm so over it all atm
Peter Tosh "I Am That I Am...I Am I Am I Am "
"Grandma's hands" by Bill Withers. It's a thing of beauty.
He starts playing around 1:20 if you're feeling impatient ..
Love this song by Rag'n'bone Man, so real and a great counterpoint to the endless parade of bubblegum pop
This is perfect for the unexpected sunny weather in the UK

Someone passed this on . . . Best Ted 'Talk'?
Ay caramba! What are they saying . . .
I love Ted Talks & this one definitely rocks - thanks for sharing!

^^. Music should surprise us.

@lobsters mention of dub reggae made me think of this/ I'm quite partial to a bit of Black Uhuru or Burning Spear.
Andreas Vollenweider should be well known... he plays electro harp, but this album of his that received a Grammy I never heard until yesterday
I love this one
Nena 99 Luftballons
Leonard Cohen. A song from his final album called Steer Your Way. Lots of buddhist wisdom in this one.
I love this, he's playing a kora from Mali with 21 strings, a bit like a harp.
Never heard the original German version of 99 red ballons. Thanks @Shoshin.
... talking of dub as @Lonely_Traveller was ...
Dub Side of the Moon - Ay Caramba!
'All Stars' also have a dub version of Sgt Peppers ... listening to it now ...
I think my stereo tablet is groovin' to the beat ...
Ghost Dog soundtrack
I'm working at my partner's work today and he's got this playing (I quite like this band)
I am sure we have had this 'banjo' link before ... ah well ...
Mantra or singing? An hour longing ...
Where would we be without the Stones
No Brown Sugar, or Satisfaction.... (oh, sorry, wrong thread... LCHF...?!
)
Mongolian Throat Singing
I could listen to that all day.... Ok, well, maybe a half hour..... but that scenery helps....!
Bill Callahan. Just amazing. Listen carefully to the beautiful lyrics.
Kate Bush is AWESOME
