Listening to Traditional World Music on Psychedelics

Hi guys! So I'm creating this thread for people who like to listen to world music (such as Indian classical music, traditional Japanese music, African drums, Native American icaros, etc.) while tripping on LSD or other psychedelics to be able to share their favorite songs/artists with one another.
Also, feel free to share details from your experiences of tripping while listening to this genre of music!

Ok, I'll go first. I personally love listening to Ravi Shankar and sacred Hindu chants while tripping and this has almost always led to beautiful spiritual experiences. In fact, I once listened to him while peaking on 550ug of LSD and it was.. just, incredible. For some reason this type of music seems to add a calming, mystical/spiritual edge to the trip that, say, psychedelic rock (as much as I like it) completely lacks imo.
Anyway, what do you guys think?

I've listened to Ravi Shankar while tripping before too.
I was tripping on (a lot of) 4-Aco-dmt and a friend played this for me. Was a pretty interesting experience. First real introduction to Indian music I guess, and it was a good way to introduce it as well because the beginning of the album he kind of lays out how to count this kind of music. Kind of clicked it in for me, whereas before all Indian music just sounded the same to me. Hard to explain I guess.

But I'll point out that Western Classical music has a similar power on influencing certain emotions while under the influence of psychedelics. It's not limited to the type of music, more a matter of it's complexity and execution really.

Yes! That was the first Ravi Shankar album I listened to as well haha It's not my favorite - I prefer the Ravi Shankar in San Francisco and the Rarity Collections - but it's quite good. Also, I definitely agree with you about Western classical music. Hopefully this weekend I'll get to experience my first candy flip and I definitely want to try listening to some Tschaikovsky or perhaps Mozart or Bach. Which Western artist do you think might be best for tripping? On another note, I really wanna try traditional Japanese music sometime soon as well.

Ravi was upset about all the people masturbating and fucking in his audiences when he started playing for hippies. I don't like Ravi for a number of reasons.
Aremnian: Hozzein Alizadeh / Djivan Gasparyan African: Ali Farka Toure, Toumani Diabate, Baboucar Traore, Tinariwen Gypsy: Taraf De Haidouks Spanish: Buena Vista Social Club, Paco de Lucia, Cheo Hurtado, Antonio Lauro
Don't really listen to a lot of folk music anymore, mostly just European and Indian Classical, with a handful of other musicians and sometimes Jazz

That depends what you feel like.
If you're looking for ideas, maybe try Beethoven's 5th Piano concerto, his 3rd Cello Sonata, or Mozarts 39th symphony If a trip starts going south and you want to turn it around, try Haydn's London Trios or one of his Violin Concertos

I don't know what he expected, when he first came to the West he was playing for Classical audiences I think it was the Monterey festival which turned that around, which was the first recording I heard from him outside of his work with Phillip glass
I honestly don't like the guy or his gharana at this point though, there are very few instrumentalists I listen to in ICM, mostly just vocalists.

I'm listening to Peter Gabriel right now as you suggested and I really liked the first song but the rest is kind of too techno for me tbh
By the way you guys should check out Robert Rich & Lisa Moskow's album Yearning if you haven't already:

Here is some abstract world music fusion I found awhile back:
Oregon - Music of Another Present Era 1973[Full Album]
Oregon - Crossings (full album vinyl rip needle drop
Haven't listened to much but its pretty interesting stuff, could be pretty cool tripping.

Oh, that's real nice!! Whichever one of us trips next should listen to that and report back 
also if you're into chants or ICM, check this out:

Speaking of chants, definitely should have some throat singing up in here:
Huun-Huur-Tu - Live

Such a great album.
Not traditional world music, but gotta have some Fela in the mix.
Babatunde Olatunji
Hamza El Din
I was sitting on the couch on six hits of acid petting my cat, he was curled up in my lap just lovin it being a good kitty with rainbow in his fur . I had Mickey Hart's album on called Supralingua, there's a part where they're singing in some African language, I remember hearing a booming voice saying "I AM HEALING YOU" coming from the speakers, and was like whoa cool.
A very strange experience indeed.

Here is one of my favorite tunes from this great jazz group:
Vital Information - Island Holiday
It has an interesting island jazz vibe that I dig.

I really love boards of canada, but when I was tripping on acid I listened to them and it felt all wrong. I don't want to listen to drumming because it'll just make my heart beat faster and I'll start to go out and wrestle a deer/tear it's throat out.
In the end I listened to biosphere. Nice, quiet, atmospheric music, which really helped calm me down. I was curious, I didn't feel like just being passive and staring at the pretty colours, because after six hours of that I was pretty bored, so I started playing unreal tournament. I think I even did better than usual.

I used to hear that years and years ago. Andy Kershaw would play african music on radio 1 and his show was before John Peel.
sometimes when having a bad trip, it's best to have less stimulation. I dunno! Just keep cool, have someone nearby to talk to and keep you level helps the most.
