It’s like the chicken and the egg. Which came first? The love or the music? It really doesn’t matter because both are essential to life and are equally important.

Music’s like love. It takes a great deal of prejudice, misinformation and so on to interrupt the attraction. And sometimes, even the greatest amount just gets washed under by the desire to be immersed in it. And this sort of cross-pollination (music and love both) is one of the few things that goes both ways, always. What’s closer to G-d, our frequently crippled and half-understood ideas or the eternal flow of music, love, desire? I trust the music.

Like Gibran Khalil Gibran once said, “Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.” And he’s pretty much right.

That’s something I’ve always believed and it is very true. It is the one form of expression that can take and borrow from many types of genre, be mixed and nobody is offended. Here’s some useless trivia, yet I find it amazing, but did you know that human DNA has a musical sequence? Somebody tried it. Somebody way smarter than most with a musical training background and translated the DNA sequence into musical notes. Kinda tells you something… (^_^)

Music’s easily the best way to experience a real intercultural exchange. I don’t know where we’d be without it.

Thanx for the tip! I was looking at the listings on the radio page last night and didn’t see her listed, so I thought I’d write something about her to share with the forum. Amazing voice, and truly missed…

Her voice is amazing! We have a remixed version of this song on our radio page. Look for "Moroccan Heaven," it's by the wonderful 'Souk Criminals.'
