'Swan Lake' is about the most intensely beautiful work I know of.
'Soul Rebel' is a good example of Marley's music.
'Nyabinghi Drummer'; I heard on a sample tape years ago. steel drum and vocals mostly.
'El Condor Pasa', best known from the Simon / Garfunkel version. Beautiful.
I know about nothing about Asian music. I saw this recommended.
