Any North African / Middle Eastern music recommendations?

Anyone here familiar with music from any of the countries in North Africa and the Middle East (including Turkey)?

I have been looking to listen to music by some artists who are either from these areas or at least are influenced by these areas.

So far I have been listening to:
- Khaled
- Rachid Taha
- Faudel
- Amr Diab
- Amal Hijazi
- Natacha Atlas
- Cheb Mami
- Kenza Farah
- Nicole Saba
- Haifa Wehbe
- Athena
- maNga

Most of those I think are Algerian, Lebanese or Turkish but I would like to listen to music from other countries as well and I am not too bothered about the style of music as I have a wide ranging taste in music.

So...any suggestions?

Not actually African but some great African themed music



A band from Mali


Some Armenian psychedelic rock
