Religious Music
OP - August 10, 2010, 04:17 AM

This is a song by Yusuf Islam, not particularly religiously orientated song, but it's lovely and emotional.

I'll find and post some more of religious music I've come across (particularly christian music) that I find really beautiful.

Wonderful song by Stevens. He seems to have mellowed out over the past few years, which is good.

But in all seriousness, can somebody explain why all these fucking jihad nasheeds sound EXACTLY the same? They all have the same voice.

I am a sucker for Gregorian chants. I absolutely adore christian choir music in general.

There's this irish choir ensemble that blends classical choir signing with folk music pretty nicely. Can't use youtube now, but for those interested, look up Anuna.

I'm sure you've heard of the group 'Gregorian', which turns popular songs into Gregorian chants. It's so silly.

Dawud Wharnsby Ali has toned down alot in recent years. His latest (about 3-4 years old) albumn is so good. You could listen to it as a religious person or an athiest, he gives room for personal interpretation.

Kareem Salama is another.

Gregorian not sung in latin = garbage.

Oh yes I love a lot of religious music too, a lot of the bhajans and aartis (Hindu songs), sufi music/qawwalis, gregorian chants, and american gospel music too.

Some of my recent favourites:

From Coke Studio sessions also, featuring a sufi singer Sain zahoor Ahmed
