Title: Bethe Bethe Kese Kese
Artist: Gaudi and Nusrat Fateh Ali KhanLanguage: Punjabi (A Pakistani/Indian Language)
The song begins like a flower slowly unfolding as the sunrise caresses it awake. As the drum beats build, you feel something unfolding in yourself as well--like a creaking door opening--until finally you're propelled into another world.
The reggae rhythms consume you in a light, contentedness, and the Punjabi flute serves as a wind-like spirit guide throughout the beautiful desert you've embarked upon. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's vocals indwell you and form a spiritual connection with the Punjabi melody which rocks your own spirit into a sleep-like state of motion filled with serenity and passion.
Then suddenly you find that night has crept up on you as the moon ever so gently calls the wind spirit back unto herself, but not before it lulls you to sleep.

I like how you described this song. I especially like this song because although I only know one phrase, I like Punjabi, and I really want to go to to Punjab sometime.
