From the legendary Egyptian chanteuse Umm Kulthum.

Song title translates as "A Thousand and One Nights".

To be honest, I have some difficulty in appreciating Near Eastern music. Perhaps Amr Diab, and Anoushka from Egypt or Turkey's Suzen Aksu are easier to listen to, but others are unfamiliar to me. Maybe I should explore more artists, to be fair. One singer from Israel does have a voice I like, Chava Alberstein, is pretty well known in Europe. This song is very moving, if you listen to the translation, or speak Yiddish. It's worth a listen. She introduces it in English. (Sorry for OT misstep)

I certainly understand. It's such a different musical paradigm, at so many levels (melodic structure, vocal phrasing, etc.).

I always encourage people to at least become familiar with the two colossi of Arab song, Umm Kulthum and Fairouz. Both completely transcended their craft to be cultural icons.

From Umm Kulthum to Fairouz.. an exhibition in Paris that celebrates the stars of the East

The Arab World Institute in Paris salutes the women of singing and screen who revolutionized Arab music and cinema, from the two giants Umm Kulthum and Fairuz, to the legend Dalida, through an exhibition about these stars who had a feminist contribution and positions on political issues.

I attended a Fairouz concert in Detroit in 2003, and to this day that remains the most beautiful sound that my ears have ever heard live. Her accompanying orchestra was stunning in the acoustics of Detroit's lushly restored Fox Theatre.

Good recommendation. I've listened to about half of her "Morning" songs. Yes, she has a great accompanying orchestra. Like everything, you have to give it a fair chance and I'll do that. My next challenge will be to try native American music again.
R. Carlos Nokai flute music is good but... Any suggestions from anyone?

Laudy Miss Claudy, Slipperman, IQ is amazing! I'd never heard of them, now they're probably my next obsession. I'm not familiar with much prog between about 1980 and 2000.
