Etant conscient de la force que peut générer leur différences culturelles et musicales, ils ne cessent de mélanger les styles sur des compositions originales, allant du Jazz passant par le Flamenco jusqu’aux sonorités orientales et africaines. Alaa est accompagné sur scène par un autre musicien talentueux : Jean Luc Di Fraya à la batterie/percussions. Actuellement Alaa Zouiten travaille sur la sortie d’un nouvel album « Talking Oud » 2015 avec notamment Didier Del Aguila en « special guest ».
