Dead Can Dance – Bird

Leave a comment

If jungle-folk would be a genre, this would be the song for it. Percussion and tribal chanting are entwined with the sounds of life. Human and animal sing together, celebrating the eternal cosmic vibration.

Ganga Giri – Don’t Follow The Guru

Leave a comment

Behind this playful melody lies a wise message. I can think of a few other Ganga Giri songs that have more impressive instrumentals, but this one is perfect just as it is. Perhaps laughing at wisdom is the wisest thing one can do in the face of wisdom.

“Don’t follow that guru – you are the guru!”

You can listen to the melody for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location. And in case you’re wondering, yes, I did purchase Ganga Giri’s album :).

Sussan Deyhim – Fire Within

Leave a comment

Ritualistic beauty springs from within this passionate work of art. The driven, solemn singing is wrapped in an almost mystical arrangement of strings and air instruments. The percussion is something to behold. One invocation after the other, the magnificent composition keeps pacing in perfect harmony with the enthralling chants.

Eyes-closed listening with good hardware comes highly recommended.

Unfortunately, the song is not available on YouTube or any other no-subscription-required listening platform that I know of. However, you can listen to it for free on Deezer, which usually works just fine (I can use it simply by connecting my Google account).

Ganga Giri – Earthwise

Leave a comment

Mixing multiple musical styles is not an easy feat. This melody is filled to the brim with Australian folk beauty and aboriginal sounds. It’s so diverse it can end up being divisive. Regardless of taste, this song deserves a listen even if to simply marvel at the mish-mash of a sound palette used here. Let loose the didgeridoo!

There are some even better tunes on Ganga Giri’s Earthwise EPs (Parts 1 & 2). I preferred to feature this one because of the message. It’s an excellent introduction for the two EPs.

“True wealth
is the health of our earth
We stand together
to uphold true worth
Global conscious community
One world family”

You can listen to the melody for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location. And in case you’re wondering, yes, I did purchase Ganga Giri’s EP :).

Sadly, the song is not available on YouTube, but that’s fine because you can listen for free on BandCamp (see above) and Deezer.

Ganga Giri – Travelling Too

Leave a comment

Even from the first listen, this song’s atmosphere surrounded and enthralled me. The old man recounting memories of his beautiful moments on this Earth is a perfect enhancer for the music. A relentless didgeridoo is accompanied by powerful vibes while the tribal chants echo from all sides. Oh yes, the tribal vibe is strong with this one.

You might want to check out the fan-made YouTube video too.

“You can hear them sing
You can see them dance
Feel the rhythm
Feel the beat…

You could see them moving in the moonlight night
You could see them dancing in the moonlight night”
