While I tend to gravitate toward music with a definite beat for the gym, I’d love to experience more musical beauty from around the world (whether in English or not). It could be vocal abilities, different instruments, etc. Anything that moves you, regardless of what that looks like. 💃
My most recent favorites:
- From the East - Coffeeshop, Reapecks, Blvkstn
- Mala (Sped Up) - DJ KridUNG
- Nu Riddim - BROHM, Thingstad
The "Bach Chaconne" (Partita for Violin No. 2, BWV 1004) composed for the Violin, but it is sublime on Guitar. There are many recordings. In particular, the section starting at the 08:20 mark. Headphones on, room dark, eyes closed.
