It is not a spiritual article in itself, is it? Well it's finally Friday again, our feelings change and we're more excited. Our mind makes plans and a smile appears on our faces. Some music please.
For moments like this you have to think differently, get out of the routine. And I was thinking about what to write, a lot of topics in my head, more landscapes and panoramas towards the horizon? more flowers? more deep reflections? more spectacular trips? Benefits of something natural, on health for every day? any new challenge or contest? How many options! Do I have to choose?
About all this I have pending ideas and words, although I think I have never been good at choosing, if I start to think about every detail I am indecisive, in the end sometimes I better act with natural impulse. And that happens to me now, why not some music today? Let's chill. Actually I don't have a lot of festive music in mind, although there is time for everything, but of another type, much less popular.
But I like music that is different, distant, and that doesn't come close to current conventions and fashions, where everything starts to sound the same, wherever it comes from. So I travel back in time, in every way, to find deep, authentic, real, relaxing and powerful music.
Because sometimes we need this, depending on our mood, what we are doing or what we plan to do. Many times while I am doing other things, or writing, I put on music, discreet, calm, that makes me think, that raises my vibrations more inside than outside.
I still haven't said anything about the music I'm listening to after several paragraphs…
“Sacred Spirit”
Music of the Native Americans, of those North American tribes that the English practically made disappear, and their culture, and others they put on reservations where many ended up drunk. They are still there and I would like to know more about them.
Why? I don't know for sure, on the one hand because of the falsification or whitewashing of Anglo-Saxon history that I am against, as I commented on it in another article against the black legend. But there is something else...
When I was little, at Christmas time there was an advertisement on television, Christmas mood of course, to sell something as a gift, and the music captivated me. I was waiting for that one to be repeated just to listen to that strange song again. In the end it was a new album of alternative music, or I don't know what to call it, and I remember seeing the “Sacred Spirit” cover.

Well, back in 1994 it could be, a little girl asked for that record for Christmas, so I think it was on cassette, music inspired by that of the North American natives, and I liked it. I say inspired because apparently it's a German new age music project and stuff, but those words that I didn't understand teleported me in a special way. Later I got it in CD format and later digitally, even now in apps like Spotify I still see that cover, that look.
Chants and Dances of the Native Americans
And of all the songs, there is one in particular that continue to captivate me in the same way that when I heard them in an advertisement on television, I still listen to them from time to time, it's like traveling back in time.
Yeha Noha (Wishes of Happiness and Prosperity)
and more... (look at the titles of the songs, so inspiring right?). On YouTube also you can listen to all of them, for example here.
There is even more discography, but I was hooked on this one. I've listened to more New Age music?, from other places, from other times and cultures, maybe I'll tell you later too. I liked Enya a lot, for example, and more, of different styles and origins, I don't know why they are called New Age but I like her. As well as current music of today, more modern and popular, (like LIBERATO, I also wrote about this eclectic new artist here), although not all of it, some of it is infumable, in terms of musical quality and those coarse and absurd lyrics, well, it will be that I am getting older, or that each one has its preferences maybe or that now the music industry is, that, too much “industry”.
But I return to these songs with tribal sounds, which remind us of unique peoples who went further, with strong spirits, respect for nature and immense wisdom.

Without a doubt I'm still listening to this album, I keep thinking... the memory, the moment, everything it means and everything it contains, sung vibrations that make “Sacred Spirit” sacred and special to me.
Thanks for reading! Have a musical, happy and festive day.
