Moorish / Arabic sounding music request

Something about this sounding music has always gotten me. Anybody have any suggestions for other songs/artists that sound like this? Can be flamenco, world music, whatever.

If you want to stay in "sort of flamenco-related", check out radio tarifa.

Look up or get hold of flamenco Zambra pieces. Zambra is the most moorish sounding of any flamenco guitar. Sabicas has several versions of Zambra, the most well-known probably "Danza Mora" (Moorish Dance). There is a wonderful YouTube video of Grisha performing Sabicas' Danza Mora. Really great sounding Moorish/Arabic music channeled through flamenco.
