Omar Faruk's flute playing is much like his voice - mellifluous and colorful. His performance comes from a deep place and never fails to move the audience.’
‘He sings mournful songs in a thick, horn-like voice, heavy with ritualized lament and evoking the ancient chants that fed East and West’ Sydney Morning Herald 2003
‘Tekbilek’s haunting vocals cutting through the overlapping layers of marimbas, gongs and frame drums with almost transcendental power.’ The Age 2006
‘The music of Omar and the ensemble unites far-flung traditions with its melodic symbolism, fusion of styles and collection of instruments, providing lasting inspiration long after the performers have left the stage.’ LA Yoga Ayurveda and Health 2006
