Bahai
Do Baha'i have any nice devotional or worship music? I really like Iranian, Arabic and Indian kinds of music... especially Sikh and Hindu Bhajans and Kirtan. I would kind of expect Baha'i to have nice music from coming from the Middle East but I looked on youtube and elsewhere and everything I found was incredibly dull. It reminded me of 1950's gospel radio, or English food.
mmm English food. Tandoori !
You will also find 70's folk Bahai (which I actually like, but each to his taste), and rap. If you want to find something more existential you may have to google in Urdu or Farsi, or ask on a Persian-language Bahai list: what you will find with an English google has probably been selected with use in Bahai devotional meetings in mind -- staid and pious to a fault. Or choral music for convention crowds
There's a diverse list of more artistic approaches here:
