A Chant to Clear the Air

[2322]

I have a thing for Tibetan and Mongolian throat singing. Throat singing allows the human voice to sing more than one note at a time, essentially creating chords. It's remarkable and a bit entrancing. Here's another.

I'm also partial to shape note singing. It's one of America's rarer but more lovely contributions to world music.

Here's a fantastic recording of it from Vermont.

A favorite artist I like.

Enjoy.

She can always be counted upon to send me to good places in the heart.

I like it. I'm a sucker for sitar.

A lot of her material is very good.

A suck for sitar? Hah. She uses one in McKrimmon, a Scottish ballad instead of a bag pipe....

And now for something completely different.

The red indian culture is very enlightening and steeped in mystery, their medicine is very powerful indeed. We should take head and return to the ways of the wise elders of the indian tribes.

Thank you all for sharing and creating this wonderful and peaceful post, after the upset and mayhem of the past few days, it is tyrely welcome medicine for this site.

I totally agree let us chant and not rant.

I'd love to have lived in a Native American Indian tribe...freedom, yes hardship too, but I'd take that over bills and beaurocracy any day of the week....plus the acceptance that the American Indians (and the asia-pacific tribes) showed to their homosexual brother and sisters.

There's a movie about shape note singing entitled, Awake, My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp. Here's the trailer for it. These songs are, like they say, some of the oldest music in America and they're remarkably beautiful. We Americans are a musical lot.

We Americans are a musical lot.

The music of the United States reflects the country's multi-ethnic population through a diverse array of styles. Rock and roll, blues, country, rhythm and blues, jazz, pop, techno, and hip hop are among the country's most internationally-renowned genres. :wink::biggrin1:
