I recently went to a Hi-Fi store and had a really nice discussion with this Lebanese guy who worked there about Arabic music. He showed me "Enta Omri" by Umm Kulthum and I was blown away by how powerful her voice was and the command she had over the accompanying orchestra. I was wondering if anybody had any more suggestions for me to look into for music from this region of the world.
 
This one was quite popular in Brazil in the early 2000s due being featured in a popular telenovela at the time (the telenovela had arab/musling themed)

 
[CONTINUATION, CAUSE I HIT THE "5 PIECES OF MEDIA PER MESSAGE" LIMIT]
And, last but certainly not least, Red Kalbi by Balqees Fathi.
Honorable mention:
Seta El Sobah by Husain Al Jassmi.
 
100% not what you're looking for and probably just shows my lack of cultural awareness but for some reason this popped into my head after reading this.

"We're losing this battle, start fighting or I'll find someone who can!"

I’m a native speaker and resident, if you need questions asked, lemme know, I’m somewhat choked at the moment so I can’t send anything but a few moments later I will : )))
