completely fascinated by shia devotional chants. no instruments, just the voice and the rhythm from the chest beating. mesmerizing. sometimes i envy religious people that they have these artistic things that outsiders will never fully understand.

@kali@discuss.systemsLoool haha xD It has Azerbaijani subtitles. Haydar is a nickname for Ali, by the way it means "strong lion." They even made a Lego version of that xD That chanting and self-chastising is a form of Shia mystic zikr, a kind of ecstatic prayer.
