Ethnic music

A few years ago, my parents gifted me a CD of Buddhist chants after they returned from their visit to Dharamshala in India.  Not that they are Buddhist converts but they have an affinity for Buddhism and all that it preaches about being kind to all living beings irrespective of their caste, creed or religion.

Somehow in my deepest, darkest moments, I used to find solace in those chants.  I don't know if it had anything to do with spiritualism, something that I'm not good at unlike my parents but I used to feel good around this CD especially when I was down or simply exhausted from the fast paced life in DC.  Or maybe it was just the melody that did the trick for me.

Note to self: Ethnic is an interesting word.  Take off the 'n' and add an 's' and it matches my specialty.
