Wikipedia description:

Zohar is a four-piece music ensemble from Great Britain, which "blends mystical middle eastern sounds with modern technology and dance grooves, while retaining a sense of spirituality." Zohar combines Jewish cantors, Arab muezzins, and Byzantine chants to create their unique musical sound. The band is signed to Miles Copeland's Ark 21 label, and their first album, "Onethreeseven," was released worldwide in 2001 to critical acclaim. Their second album "Do You Have Any Faith?" was released in 2007. The group was founded, and is led by musician and producer Erran Baron Cohen. Zohar's music reflects the beats and textures of modern club culture, hip-hop, electronica, dub and future grooves. Zohar have also DJ'd internationally, as well as at some of London's most popular clubs including Momos, China White and Bartok. They have also performed live both in the United Kingdom, and internationally, all while establishing a dedicated body of fans in various parts of the world.
