The age old mystery surrounding tunes from all different cultures. Some high pitched vocals of string instruments, while others are combined natural sounds with the vocals of a human, in one form or another music is found to have a special impact and place in every culture no matter how isolated or out of touch the part of the world may be.

Often music has been associated with being food for the soul, and how the sounds of music have calming effects on the humans. Even in today's age of technology music is the common ground. Variations of music have become a form of speech, a way of expression, an avenue for conviction.

The music also seems to have a connection to spirituality, and some claim it serves as a ladder to allow human spirits to ascend higher than usual. Such as the Sufi tunes of Swirling Dervishes, or just plain Qawwali, or Sitar, and so on...

Do you believe music has a connection to our soul, and serves as its perceived to be, or is that just a superstition?
