Although the music is not hip-shaking, it is head-bopping and finger-snapping.

31.Hari Naam Ka Pyala

5:30

Anup Jalota (India)

Aisi Laagi Lagan

This Indian music is at once accessible and mystical. It is neither Indian classical music nor Indian pop like Bangra. Instead, "Hari Naam Ka Pyala" sounds like Indian devotional or religious music for a popular audience. There is a nice low-register string instrument throughout as well as the Indian drums, which may or may not be tabla. There is also the surprising addition of an accordion-like instrument but most of the instrumentation is strings and percussion. The male vocals are sweet, devotional, and melodic. The sounds or phonemes of the language seem to blend well with the instrumentation as well as the beats. Thus, the vocals both stand alone and blend with the music as if another instrument. I enjoyed listening to this.

32.Nansi Imali

5:15

Ladysmith Black Mambazo (South Africa)

The Indestructible Beat of Soweto - Volume One

In Nansi Imali, we hear many voices together in unison, singing a capella.

3:10

Various (China)

Music of the Pipa

The string instrument featured in "Gao Shan Liu Shui" is distinctly and classically Chinese. The sound the instrument yields is high, and it likely has just a few strings. However, it is deceptively simple. There is also a bass-registered instrument playing. The overall effect is sensual and natural. This song seems like music to play when taking a long journey across large looming landscapes. The song does change like a landscape does in valleys, with the occasional sight of bird or other animal.

34.Whispering Journeys

4:30

Robert Tree Cody (North America)

Dreams from the Grandfather Native American Songs

This lovely and evocative melody starts with flute arriving out of nowhere like a sudden wind. In fact, "Whispering Journeys" never stops feeling like the wind. The sound of the flute echoes, and is alone like a bird of pray flying overhead. It is impossible to listen to….....
