that very often it's only the loudest voices that we hear about, It is NOT necessarily the majority or even a large minority. And of course so many of the news channels only cover the loudest and most radical voices because of course the quiet ones are 'not news' at all.

I don't know if this comment 'tickled my memory' of the song below (Dagestan, Caucasus region) but whatever it was, this song.... with the Circassian-styled video? definitely Circassian dance and costumes.... has been on my mind for several days. I'm only able to post it now because I just returned home last night.
The lyrics of this song are immensely poetic and almost ethereal in how they stir my imagination, I get totally lost in daydreams. I've listened to the song about 10 times in the past 2 or 3 days. Loreena McKennitt has an amazing voice as well. Some words can be hard to understand because she is part Irish-Scottish-Canadian and the same word can sound different from one phrase to the next, but her singing and enunciations are just beautiful to me. The video is very old and not great quality and so it's best to play in youtube's standard 'mini-player' mode.
(I disagree with a couple of parts of song lyrics found online, but I may be wrong, any errors are my own.)
You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
There are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of thousands of doves
You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
In the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, they are waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteries
You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er the land you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destiny
You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
Take me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lost
Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea
You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
