In exploring the traditions of chanting or singing the Psalms and other scriptures, I came across the above YouTube channel which features music of the Sephardic Jewish tradition, more specifically from Morocco. Can you detect that the tonality is not that of Western even-tempered music? You can find demonstrations of the relevant scales (also used in Arab music) online in multiple places, but I found Maqam World to be particular useful, with transcriptions, demonstrations on different instruments, and more.
