Essentially, the vocals are just a Middle Eastern version of what we call "Drum Talk"(Example: The Cadets 2005 drum break).

 

The words don't mean anything, but they are just emulating the sound of the tabla drum when it is hit a certain way.

and it's actually Indian ;)

 

Being part of the hornline, I don't know the whole story. But, I believe after hearing the drum guys talk about it a couple times, the tabla speak is actually how they teach someone how to play the tabla drum, learning the sounds vocally first.
