Middle Eastern Music

[iMike]

I've recently fallen in love with the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, a pakistani musician who is renouned for his sound, and rightfully so. This man has single-handedly made me so intrigued by the music, and in effect, the culture.

But right now let's just discuss the music. Can anyone recommend any other good middle eastern musicians? I wanna hear more!
