Their stuff sounds like jazz qawwali with electric guitar interludes. Sometimes it&#8217;s pretty musically interesting, other times it resembles <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elevator_music\">Muzak<\/a>, especially in contrast with NFAK&#8217;s voice. The band obviously can&#8217;t replicate that voice, but they get by with phonetic chants of &#8216;Allah hu&#8217; and clapping. In any case, it&#8217;s probably one of the only Sufi bands with Jewish members in existence <img src=\"http:\/\/www.sepiamutiny.com\/sepia\/images\/wink.gif\" align=absMiddle border=0><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brooksqawwaliparty.com\/music.html\">Listen here<\/a>.
