I've been trying to google some sort of a list for "best contemporary arab musicians / albums", but with no luck so far.
However, I've found a few that I find really amazing:
Flamenco Árabe - Hossam Ramzy & Rafa El Tachuela
Endless Vision - Hossain Alizadeh & Jivan Gasparyan
Sufi Music from Turkey - Sufi Music Ensemble
So that's arabic flamenco and persian lute music and sufi music all thrown together - because I don't have a clue where to start and what kind of categories I should be investigating. Anyway, all of the above provide the kind of hypnotic melodies and instrumental mastery that I'm after. Classical arabic music or traditional arabic folk music performed and recorded by modern masters.
Please enlighten me. What's the "Kind of Blue" of arabic music? Who's the Paco de Lucia of the arab world?
Thanks.
