Acá un mexicano quiere ir a Córcega. Bravo por esta programación
EVEY SINGLE TIME this comes on I pause the song to put my headphones on, and for 1.57 minutes close my eyes and just listen.

nope. i was not listening to the "global mix" for a reason. please, no.
When this first came on my instinct was to skip to the next track... Then I thought NO, this is precisely why I subscribe to RP ! Such a rich diversity of music from all around the world...

Another beauty of RP is how it pulls this wonderful music from the background and brings it forward for us to appreciate. Winged Migration is not exactly an obscure film but few likely focused on the soundtrack upon seeing it. The same can be said for the TV show "House", random video games ads, and countless University of Phoenix ads. While we were focused elsewhere, RP heard Massive Attack, The New Pornographers, etc and brought that music out into the daylight. Thank you RP!
I'd like to point out that Teardrop came out way before House was on and must have been at least a bit of a hit at the time because I heard it on a local radio station (San Diego). Instantly loved the song.

This reminds me of the polyphony traditions of the country Georgia. The video game Civilization 6 has a pair of themes for the Georgian Civilization that are reminiscent of this style.

The harmonies are spectacular. I can't believe this is only a 6 right now.

. That's the beauty of RP to me, that every time I listen to it there's always something new, and quite often from new and (to western ears) obscure regions.

Enorme et si prenant. Thank's Bill for this marvelous moment of my country 
I almost expect a Tuvan (sp?) throat singer to join in. What's interesting about it is that I can hear a lot of the same kinds of resonance and tones without it.
Check out the French-occitan new gen... San Salvador!

WOW! This is beautiful.
This is why I love Radio Paradise... opens my ears and opens doors in my mind... adventurous and creative... traveling the world, giving you the exposure to cultures via music. Priceless..... appreciate it so much.....thank you !....

Not so much the song, no? But keep playing 'em Bill and Rebecca. I'd much rather hear something obscure and maybe not so good, like this, rather than Freebird and Stairway to Heaven on a daily basis. Viva RP!
LOVED the movie!

Wow. Intense or what? Beautifully slid into "Nevermore" by ACSS today, too. Sweet tricks, RP...
This reminds me of geese flying over with a full moon.

Suddenly I was shaken from my work driven frenzy and had to pay attention to this...powerful stuff in a mysterious sort of way
Next time I'm running a role-playing game and I need some super creepy background music, I know what to use.
That's a good thing, in case it wasn't obvious. :-)

On hearing this I feel the urge to practice some Tuvan throat singing.
Here we go then... Gar... Gar... Geee... Gaaa... Gar.
Ah - that's better!

this is one of the reasons I listen to RP. every once in a while, Bill tosses out some utterly obscure tune that just blows my mind. Thank you, my brother. My mind's gate is now more open by a yard.

Wow, this great!
Well, that grabbed my attention - in a good way...

Really enjoyed this piece. Kind of surprised by the relatively low rating by RP listeners.
Thank you Bill! Amazing!
Was lucky enough to catch them on roadtrip to Corsica. A mesmerising experience.
powerful!

Only ever heard this in Corsica - top marks RP for picking it up. Wonderful sound.
Interesting... alluring
Gorgeous. Like a call to worship.

I dunno. Sounds more like it belongs in "The Exorcist".
Enjoy the eclectic, great track.

That's what it sounds like to me, too. Also a bit Bulgarian.

Please! What is LUGHOLE? Anything to do with cars? LUGNUTS?
Great movie! This sounded a bit like Tuvan throat singing at first. Interesting!

This is a slang word for ears. Not sure where it originates. Perhaps we need a translation service on RP! Two nations divided by a common language indeed!

Hi
the compositor is a french man : Bruno Coulais
the song, sound like a corse song
(the corse is an island of france, with a very famous style of a cappella song )
Is this more Arabic or Egyptian in flavor? I once had a great rock album called "Hard Rock From the Middle East" . . . gotta find it again.
This cut has a bit too much tremolo/warbling. That probably explains why I'm not converting to Islam. . . .

This may satisfy the musical needs of some, but this isn't why I listen to RP.

E.g. mine :-) Music like this makes me listen to RP. There are a lot of other stations that just play pop and rock stuff...

That movie absolutely blew my mind.
This music is not that good IMO
Amazingly incredible movie, great Soundtrack
Thanks RP!

A meditative song from a great movie, perhaps it might work better with birds in the background. Be sure however to check out the rest of the "Winged Migration" Soundtrack it does not dissapoint. Nick Cave's beautiful, "To be by your side" is only one of the gems.
