Minimal music

I have a profound connection with minimal music, due to many reasons, probably the first is because I was brought up in a country whose roots are directly linked to Africa, one of the mother lands of repetitive music. Another reason why I probably like repetitive or minimal music is simply because our lives are totally based on repetitive rituals (work, love, eat, etc), and through those continuous patterns we can learn, grow, find joy or simply destroy.

When we LOVE someone or something, we carry the idea that we have transcended our flesh through that interaction, and of course we need to repeat that ritual in order to arrive at that same or a much better place. A TRANCE is one of those states that repetition can take us to.

I have made a short youtube playlist of some minimal music, ranging from Dominican Music, to Philip Glass, Bach's repetitive Brandenburg Concerto, Ali Farka Toure, and some pop music.

Enjoy
