What is this song?

I'm trying to source this haunting voice. Is this arabic? A sung prayer? Stumbled on this by accident, no idea what it is. Thanks for any tips...

Is there a way you can post this MP3 file to a non-dodgy, non-spyware data sharing site? (Like SoundCloud or the like?)

This is tajweed (Qur'an recitation).

In fact it's verses 33 to 47 of Surat Az Zukhruf.

You can hear some more here. Thanks for reminding me of this, I hadn't listened to any in a while.

Best answer: Lots more great stuff here

(That's Qari Abdul Basit, here's another emotional/ecstatic recital of his)

On this site you compare the same Qur'anic passages as interpreted by different qaris (reciters)
