Baraka (Dead Can Dance - The Host Of Seraphim)

Without words, cameras show us the world, with an emphasis not on "where" but on "what's there" It begins with morning, natural landscapes and people at prayer: volcanoes, water falls, veldts, and forests; several hundred monks do a monkey chant. Indigenous peoples apply body paint; whole villages dance. The film moves to destruction of nature via logging, blasting, and strip mining. Images of poverty, rapid urban life, and factories give way to war, concentration camps, and mass graves. Ancient ruins come into view, and then a sacred river where pilgrims bathe and funeral pyres burn. Prayer and nature return. A monk rings a huge bell; stars wheel across the sky.

@jeyjeykrk "The host of Seraphim" By Dead Can Dance's disc "Serpent's Egg" (in fact, the name is in the title of the video). A really really incredible song (and disc).

es muy triste este video, pero es una gran realidad esta pobreza extrema, y en vez de taparnos los ojos tomemos acciones que reflejen nuestro deseo de un mundo mejor para todos

This is the music used in the advertisements to the film "The Kingdom". Haven't seen the film so I don't know if it's in the actual soundtrack.

Magnificent, devastating, carthartic...love this, just love this....goosebumps all the way through.
