It is a recording in Makkah of the religious leader reciting the Quran.
- Loughla 2y agoThe prayers from the Quran are always so pretty sounding. If you haven't seen Bab Aziz, do so. Some of the prayers at the holy gathering are absolutely beautiful to listen to. Literally no idea what they're saying. But pretty though.
- YeGoblynQueenne 2y agoWell, it's an ancient Middle Eastern religion (you know, like Christianity) so they're probably saying things that would be very disagreeable to modern, liberal Westerners. Sometimes it's a blessing to not know the language a song is sung in. I feel that way often, when I listen to Black Metal bands singing in Swedish or Norwegian. I jest. The recording is really beautiful and reminds me of this more modern one (1936) of non-religious music also from the Middle East: https://youtu.be/tTZDVKMZOrk?si=DYu6sPTKjPz9FnHr https://youtu.be/tTZDVKMZOrk?si=DYu6sPTKjPz9FnHr
