1.) LAL MERI
Yesterday, NPR shared about a new "eastern mysticism meets pop" band, Lal Meri...
Lal Meri takes its name from an ancient Sufi folk song, part of a mystical tradition that helped to expand the reach of Islam around the world in centuries past. Ecstatic, transcendental Sufi art forms were used to draw people in through direct experience, bypassing dogma and authoritarianism. And, in a sense, that's just what this unusual trio is all about - unifying listeners of different cultures, beliefs and aesthetics with an irresistibly seductive sound.See (or listen to) the whole article and hear sample of their groovy, sultry, spiritual tracks at NPR.org.
