The Rhythm Divine is a radio program and now a compilation album, exploring the deep river of music and song from the world's religious traditions, from the new spiritual practices, and from the fusion of religion and pop culture. The music might be traditional and liturgical, part of a worship service or rite of passage. It might be worldly and popular and yet in its own way a vehicle for sacred expression. Or some combination of the two. But always the focus is on music with a spiritual impulse - from the sounds of the Sufis to Mavis Staples, from electronic mantras to Tibetan invocations, from gospel praise and conscious rock to Zen meditations. The Rhythm Divine is a musical journey through the world of spirituality. The Rhythm Divine is a weekly ABC Radio National music program heard Friday nights at 9:05 and Sunday mornings at 5:05, and online with a combined audience of 35,000 and up.
