"Kefaya got much praise after their first album, winning Songlines Best Newcomer award and receiving a whopping 9/10 from music journalist Adolf Alzuphar of this parish. They have taken their sound, adapted and added, creating a richer combination of instruments and vocals. Working with contemporary artists of mixed musical heritages, spanning the world from India to Greece, has allowed Kefaya to further explore cross-cultural infusion."
"An elegant global fusion based around a series of traditional Afghan folk songs, Songs of Our Mothers represents the inspired meeting of London-based collective Kefaya and Afghan singer Elaha Soroor. Kefaya, whose core duo consists of producers/players Giuliano Modarelli and Al MacSween, first appeared in 2016 with Radio International, a border-blurring panoply of sounds and styles that spanned flamenco, dub, Ethiopian, Italian, Indian, and more. With an Arabic name that translates to "enough" and wide-ranging multinational personnel, Kefaya specialize in forms of protest music." - Allmusic
