Duo Zikr is a vocal duo which perform a queer style of ritual, shamanic, scat vocalese that embraces traditions and techniques borrowed from Asiatic singing and Muslim and Buddhist chants to create a range of sound and tones almost equal to that of a symphony orchestra. Vocal compositions of the duo consists of loud and quiet sounds accompanied by a piano: church chants meet spirituals, combined with throat singing and avant-garde music.
