Yep, good stuff. I have had the privilege of listening to faith songs and chants in their original languages in a few places now.
I love hearing scripture in Latin and Greek, and Psalms in Hebrew is wonderful, but I also love listening to adhan called in the evening. Seems like it is always the pretty voice in the evening.
Quite a few people I know cannot accept the beauty of adhan and prayer because of the firefights happening around them the first time they heard it. I would never refer to Islam as 'the religion of peace' without intoning as much sarcasm as possible, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sound beautiful.
Incan ritual song is awesome, too. The Spanish all but annihilated the race, but they did bring over that mediterranean guitar, which really adds so much! Okay, that's all.
You know my real name, and yet you address me by handle. Strange. You write as if you know some Lance Corporals from a '2' shop somewhere, or at least you pretend to know what I am talking about. Your patronism and condescension are noted, Young Lady.
I'll not attempt to refute the naive comment...
But I am really not that old. Just experienced.
Punk.
