ListenListen(2'43) to 'Kham', written and sung by Ayub Ali with Twana Faraj on keyboard, Goran Kamil on violin, Jana on the Saz and engineered by Kevin.

A favourite song:

'Kham' which translates as 'sadness' is a favourite song for which I've written the lyrics, using a traditional folklore rhythm. The song speaks of sadness and being alone in this country. It reflects on those moments when you miss your country and your family.
