Featuring vocalist Najwa Gibran

With special guest Qawwali master Sukhawat Ali Khan

Includes the songs
Erev Shel Shoshanim Zaman El Salam
Ya Rab El Alam

As recorded live at the World Festival of Sacred Music 2008, The Yuval Ron Ensemble performs the ecstatic music of the mystical Sufi traditions of the Middle East and Pakistan. The concert features the magnificent vocals of Najwa Gibran — acknowledged as one of the finest female Arabic singers living in the West—and special guest Sukhawat Ali Khan, a master qawwali (devotional) singer from Pakistan. A pioneering endeavor in bringing together the Middle Eastern and South Asian vocal and musical traditions into a new exhilarating trance-induced accord.
