Partly.  We were thinking in terms of musicians like Steven Curtis Chapman, whose music is played in cars and while doing the dishes for people who appreciate its Christian piety.  Some of the bands listed in the article seem to do that kind of music, but with Wikipedia’s “Just the facts, ma’am” style, it’s hard to tell.

Here’s just one Muslim music video: https://youtu.be/u_-McEvEGvI
Here’s one Jewish example: https://youtu.be/u_-McEvEGvI”

The Muslim music video is exactly the kind of music we were asking about. Unfortunately, the link to the Jewish video points to the Muslim video again.

I read that, chuckled, and shared it with the room, and someone said “But I know some pagans who’d love that.”

These also look like the kind of music we were asking about.  Thanks.

“There is also popular Islamic music, if we're sticking with the Judeo-Christian paradigm. I've seen modern Islamic, Hindu, neopagan, Wiccan, and Buddhist music in both "world music" and "new age" classifications.

Good luck!”

Thank you both.

Everyone,

This comes out of a staff debate about what to call a collection of popular Christian CDs.  Has anyone encountered popular religious music (parallel to CCM) for any religion other than Christian?  If so, what is it?

TIA,

David Allen
