Recommendations for Arab and Mid-Eastern fusion.

I'm looking for new talents from Middle East as I've started developing an interest in Middle Eastern scales blends.
Currently I can't stop listening to Dhafer Youseff(Turkey, vocal, oud) and Michael Tawadros(Iran, oud).
I also like Ofra Haza(Israel, vocal)
Please chip in with your favorite picks from Middle East.
THANKS.

If you go to youtube and type in "iranian music tar"there are quite a few videos.The tar sounds a bit more full bodied than the oud,more like a sitar with less sympathetic strings.I discovered it while trying unsuccessfully to get info on persian issued vinyl I bought at a thrift store.Some of these cats can really blow.Enjoy.
More to discover
