Let's face it, as an Iranian you don't really go out of your way (especially nowadays) to buy Arabic music. And I'm here to tell you that this is wrong.
Sure, we've got almost all of Sting and Sade's albums (def. for you younger punks out there, an album is what we old timers call CD's), but we don't typically go out of our way to consider what I am slowly finding out is a wealth of damn good Arabic music. If you are like me and looking to correct this, Amr Diab's Tamally Ma'ak is a good album to start with.
