Regarding music in religion, kirtan [1] even for non-Hindus can be really enjoyable and powerful experience (most non-religious people I've met regard it more as a meditation than prayer).

[1] kirtan is a call-and-response style song or chant, set to music, wherein multiple singers recite or describe a legend, or express loving devotion to a deity, or discuss spiritual ideas. It may include dancing or direct expression of bhavas (emotive states) by the singer. Many kirtan performances are structured to engage the audience where they either repeat the chant, or reply to the call of the singer.

Great, thank you! I forgot about Om Swami, glad to have been reminded about them.
