Junun\\xa0is a musical collaboration between India-based Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur,\\xa0a group of Indian musicians called The Rajasthan Express, and composer (and Radiohead\\u2019s guitarist) Jonny Greenwood. The music is in\\xa0the ecstatic Sufi music style known as\\xa0qawwali\\xa0(made famous by the late\\xa0Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), and it\'s devotional music\\u2014sometimes in Urdu, Hebrew, and Hindi, and is built on a percussion-dense and brass enriched groove with everything to love.\\xa0In 2018, the band was opening for Radiohead on tour, but they joined us to perform some of these ecstatic tunes, in-studio.
