Hells Bells by Kaushik Patowary.

Deep down El Zapote cenote, a 50-meter-deep water-filled sinkhole in Quintana Roo, Mexico, on the Yucatan Peninsula, stalactites take a different form. Instead of the usual elongated, pointed shape hanging from the roof of caves, the stalactites in El Zapote are conical and hollow resembling bells or lampshades. Divers call them “Hells Bells”, after the song by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC.

DakhaBrakha: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert. I thought I linked to DakhaBrakha's Tiny Desk concert from 2015 a while back, but I'm not finding it. This is a new one from their studio in Kiev. So good to see and hear them again!

South Albania, photo montage and music by John Uhlemann. So beautiful!

North Albania - Shkodër - Theth - Valbona, photo montage and music by John Uhlemann. And so cool to see the differences between South and North Albania!

Mentés másként - "Tavaszi szél...". A gorgeous Hungarian song I'm learning in an online singing workshop. Tavaski szél is a famous Hungarian song, and this singer is wonderful. I think her name is Ivánovics Tünde, and our teacher calls her Tünde. So fun (and difficult!) to be learning Hungarian pronunciation.

Stanala rano Bosilka sung by Vaska Ilieva. A Macedonian song I learned at another online singing workshop.
