Arabic music

I fell in love with some Arabic songs while in Jordan, so before I left the country I bought two CDs and two cassette tapes. I hope to get the cassettes onto my computer, so then I can have them on CD as well. Anyway, when I got back I started searching for more Arabic music, and some I love while others I like or need to give more of a chance. I'm sure if my very, very limited Arabic was improved I would like some songs more. Then again that same very limited Arabic does not stop me from being addicted to some. Anyway, my search for Arabic songs led me to Turkish and Indian as well along with Middle Eastern influenced songs without Arabic or much Arabic in the songs. Yesterday I made a mix for some people of these songs. I could have included more, but I stopped myself at 18 songs. I tried to give a representation of the different music instead of using a few artists multiple times. Song titles and artists are below and check the comments for the link. I hope you enjoy some of the songs if not all of them.

Yes, I like some of the songs. Not all of them.

It's expected you wouldn't like them all. Some aren't my favorites either, and I wish I put some other songs on. Glad you like some.
