Their repertoire is amazingly diverse and their renditions are authentic but not academic, with lots of room for their own individual expression to shine through. All the singing is done in its original language and vocal style, and is surrounded by Bouzouki, Gadulka, Oud, Cello, Bass, saz, Zurna, Santoor, and various percussion.

Sherefe has over 15 years of experience playing festivals, weddings, concert halls, private parties, clubs, coffee houses, religious events and academic conferences throughout the Rocky Mountain region, as well as in California and New York. They frequently delight "single culture" gatherings of Greeks, Turks or Arabs, but they also excel at mixing the music to create a performance with a wider palette. Moods and sub genres range from gentle to very rowdy, depending on who's dancing and listening.

Sherefe at its smallest is a trio featuring James Hoskins, Jesse Manno and Zahara. It often expands to include Beth Quist, Paul Brown and Julie Lancaster among others, especially when recording. The band has three albums out: Sherefe (1998), Opium (2001) and Sala Sala (2010).
