Ryou Kunihiko- Saiunkoku Monogatari Original Soundtrack 3




Right!
This one is for all you anime lovers out there,and esp. those who love Saiunkoku or traditional chinese music :)
In my humble opinion, it's the best ost of all three that have been released, because this one is the most traditional of all with sad melodies,happy and sometimes a modern one hops in .

Junoon- Azadi (1997)

This band hails from today very troubled Pakistan and they are the representatives of the sufi-rock. And theyhave been dubbed as "U2 Of Pakistan" but personally I think there's more to that :) . Probably most of you who read this are not familiar with the term "Sufi" so I'll make it easier for you as much as I can : according to Wiki, Sufism is a inner,mystical dimension of Islam, and according to my understandings is heavily connected with music,because the sufis believe that through music they can achieve God (that's why its so universal!!!) . The most famous example of sufism are the whirling dervishes who through the whirling accomplish the remembrance of God ( dhikr) which is an important aspect of sufism

Therefore,despite the obstacles and in some parts of islamic world, even baning, throughout the centuries Sufism managed to withold (especially!) in music , so hence the term Sufi Rock.To cut the story short, so far, Junoon are the only sufi-rock band I know, so I'm not entirely familiar with that genre of music,but no worry, the music is very catchy and has some superb rythms and melodys,especially cause of the heavy use of tabla.
Unfortunately, this is the only material I have from this band. If anyone knows where I could find more please contact me ^^
