Kronos Quartet with Alim & Fargana Qasimov and Homayun Sakhi.
Listen to Rainbow: Music of Central Asia Vol. 8 from the Kronos Quartet, in its entirety at NPR. CD/DVD available 30 March 2010.
Be forewarned, this new disc does not always make for restful listening. In fact, I'd advise against operating any type of heavy machinery while the Qasimov's are singing. The intensity of their voices reaches such a fevered pitch that it saps every ounce of concentration. But it's a hazard I think you will end up welcoming, wholeheartedly.
