I haven't been able to post new music yesterday, so you will be blessed with a whole pile of world music songs today ;-)

The first one is from Yah Elah, a great bunch of artists, ranging from vocalists to players of the flute, the violin, the harp, a broad range of percussion instruments and lots more.

Their music

combines the sacred texts and liturgies of many traditions to reveal the deep knowing of our hearts, that all life is one.

This piece of their album "Each of Us" is called Hare Krishna.

And now some classical music (no, really!) from Paul Cantrell: Frédéric Chopin's Étude 25.1. Paul Cantrell has lots more Creative Commons licensed classical music on his homepage, go check it out.

I'm listening a lot to Mercy Machine these days. This song is different from the ones I played before — not so dark and depressive but mellow and very melodic with great vocals.

Here's a fine instrumental guitar piece from Reza Manzoori. Lean back and relax to the soothing sound of "Rain".

And now for something completely different. Dark, dark, goth-style music from Mercy Machine with ingeniously great vocals.
