Suantraí is one of the 3 strains of Music in Irish traditions: it refers to soothing, calming music (and lullabies) and it's the music we need in the world right now ;) not to avoid the work that needs to be done, but to carve out moments of peace, and comfort, to enable the work to be done.

Put your Suantraí music in the comments: remember, not upbeat or energising music. That would be Geantraí - but soothing, comforting music. Check out my own choices in the comments under the video.
