    Fascinating @Namada

    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 ...

    and now back to the beat ...

    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 ...

    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. B)

    Agree. Music touches me in a way nothing else does.
    As with anything moderation is important.
    I could not imagine a world without music.

    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 ...

  • NirvanaNirvana aka BUBBA   `     `   South Carolina, USA Veteran

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

    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...

  • lobsterlobster Crusty Veteran

    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 ...

    Religion ... you could not make this stuff up ...

    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.

    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.
