Found these guys a few years ago and I've liked pretty much everything they've done so far.

Yes
As for music, I would say a lot of it has to do with cultural syncretism stemming from globalisation and immigration, which every now and then can lead to cool stuff such as this: modern western music combined with traditional arabic music. Even though I like the scales that traditional middle-eastern music uses for example, I don't "get" it, it doesn't resonate with me; I think a major reason for that is simply my completely different cultural framework. Music like this makes the arabic elements more approachable

see also: Yasmine Hamdan, Sevdaliza
Another example of cultural syncretism:
