Her oeuvre is a provocative and experimental mix of Middle Eastern and Western sensibilities, combining extended vocal techniques, digital process and ancient mysticism. She is also known for her contributions of film soundtracks including “The Last Temptation of Christ” and “Any Given Sunday,” as well as high-profile collaborations with musicians such as Branford Marsalis, Peter Gabriel, Jerry Garcia and Arto Lindsay and international tours with Bill Laswell, Bobby McFerrin and Ornette Coleman, among others. She is a frequent participant at humanitarian events and benefits. Her latest album is “City of Leaves.”
