There are great voices in any musical genre. Singers like Sade, Alison Krauss, Sting, and Ben Harper make listening to music all the more special.
Then, every once in awhile, you find a singer who simply makes your jaw drop at their amazing tone and style.
I bring you Lisa Gerrard from Dead can Dance and also a solo artist. I have been a huuuge fan for over a decade, and still to this day songs like this one almost make me a bit teary eyed from the sheer passion in her voice.
She starts by singing in idioglossia. A rare form of language where a person actually 'makes up' their own words and language! So cool.
She also plays a Chinese Dulcimer called a yangqin. The second video showcases her talent on it.
This was on the music blog 'All Songs Considered'. It's pretty fun and quite funny at times too! Sure, after maybe 5-6 times the entertainment value wears off, but that first, second, and even third time...ohhh goodness! Laughs and intrigue-O-plenty!
