The Afghan concept of music is closely associated with instruments, and thus unaccompanied religious singing is not considered music. Koran recitation is an important kind of unaccompanied religious performance, as is the ecstatic Zikr ritual of the Sufis which uses songs called na't, and the Shi'a solo and group singing styles like mursia, manqasat, nowheh and rowzeh.
In the two years that Mirwais worked on his second album, "Naïve Song" was one of the last songs he has composed and included on Production. Several remixes were released to promote the song including remixes from Dave Clarke, Les Rhythmes Digitales, and Olav Basoski. The song reached number two on the US Club dance chart on April 14, 2001. [1]
