Some of the very athletic dancing moves are martial applications and similar can be seen in Afro-Brazilian Capoeira, which is also set to very vigorous rhythms. Another dance warrior style is cosack dancing ...
Hi welcome @Marcelle
Thanks for that. I like Gregorian plain chant, which is slightly different ...
If independent of the religious overtones it is beautiful singing ...

I was at a concert yesterday evening - a small affair in a church - listening to this lady Debasmita Bhattacharya perform. It had something magical, I was carried away...
Somebody sent me this. It is long. That instrument really is a bow, with bells on. It is a song to Amman who is the powerful and fearful Hindu goddess of plague (lobster faints).
The role of the man with the paddle and drum attached to the bow - yep a three person instrument ... is to confirm what the main singer says by repeating it on occasion ... He has to have a twirly moustache apparently ...
When my kids ask me what hard rock music is I’ll just show them this video......the tightest live band I’ve ever had the fortune of hearing.....extraordinary!
I've been listening to Gary Numan's latest album, Savage: Songs From A Broken World, a lot lately. I find it both amazing and, sadly, the perfect soundtrack to everything that's going on in the world right now.
In 1916, Rosa Luxemburg wrote, "Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to Socialism or regression into Barbarism." And true to her prophetic words, we find ourselves in an increasingly barbaric world, run by increasingly barbaric people in the service of Aries and Mammon. In Savage, which was inspired in part by the effects of global warming and things like Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Accord, Gary Numan has composed a beautifully-layered and hauntingly-catchy concept album exploring a post-apocalyptic world struggling to survive amidst catastrophic climate change, as well as a fitting industrial requiem for civilization if we continue to let it slide deeper into barbarism.
I've been listening to Winter Songs by Ola Gjeilo this week. There are some incredible pieces of music on the album but my favourite is without doubt Across the Vast Eternal Sky that I am going to commit to learn on piano. One such rendition can be found here:

And I’ve been listening to old Bob Marley concerts on YouTube, really awesome because he had a great social, spiritual and musical message. Ja rastafari Bob!

And I also have been particularly enjoying Gerald Finzi’s music, it is a great shame he doesn’t get more press as one of the 20th century’s great composers.

and now back to the beat ...
I heard this for the first time a week ago- quality stuff!! Find some good speakers, lie down and enjoy x
...Er..... need a link, @elcra1go ...
I don't listen to music. It blots out mindfulness.
Indeed @FoibleFull
Sometimes music eases suffering. All mindfulness and 'no-song' leads to emptiness/silence music in speech, life rhythms our inner mind dance ...
I have been listening to Gold whilst working ...

Should I be listening to mantra to drive me and co-worker dharmic?
@federica the link is the video above my comment for 'Ryuichi Sakamoto- music for yohji yamamoto'
Reminds me of water- rain, streams, rivers.... stick with it!- hope you like x
Siberian shaman lady
Sting...
Sigrid was at this years Glastonbury. I couldn't find her performance there, but here is one of the songs:
Early morning chants off YouTube...
LOVE SONG (1970 by Elton John, words by Lesley Duncan, 1969)
"Love is the Opening Door
Love Is what we came here for
No One could offer you More..."
Ah yes.... I went through a huge Radiohead phase my sophomore year. Really helped me understand a lot of what was going on inside.
She seemed to be channeling the whole Siberian fauna. Her backing band seemed to be the flora section
... Many thanks. 
Currently listening to a variety of polyphonic arrangements from different countries.
This one from the country Georgia is one of my favorites:
Agree. Music touches me in a way nothing else does.
As with anything moderation is important.
I could not imagine a world without music.

Yes, @Marcelle, Orthodox Church music and jazz are the love of my life. Thanks.

This is combining an eastern mantra with a traditional Western religious style

Religion ... you could not make this stuff up ...
Bonnie Raitt is an old favorite...
Some classic Aussie rock from the Noughties......
And some classic Kiwi rock from Dragon
When my kids ask me what hard rock music is I’ll just show them this video......the tightest live band I’ve ever had the fortune of hearing.....extraordinary!
Classic @Shoshin! Sadly most Aussies don’t realise how talented this guy is and his popularity in NZ. They think this was the only song he ever did.
More Kiwi legends.....

So much fascinating music here! I have enough new leads to keep me exploring for a long time!

It seems to provide a musical choice to change our mind and mood. Very pleased with it.

The Solitary Confinement thread reminded me of this... great tune which I think moved a lot of hearts and minds.
RIP Malcolm Young
