I listen to quite a bit of this. I love traditional Flamenco, for example, and there are younger artists that are playing "new wave" adaptations of all kinds of cultural music. I got turned on to some middle eastern stuff by a small group of such musicians called Niyaz (album by the same name). I'm down with this. Very sensual to me. You can hear 30 sec samples on CD Universe. For some reason, playback is superior to what I hear on Amazon. For those of you wanting an intro to Flamenco playing by a newer artist who includes David Darling (Oregon) on cello on some tracks, try Gino D'Auri- Flamenco pasion y duende (World Class). The opening nunber is a good example of what I love about this music- passion and intensity. You ain't gonna get it on your computer speakers I should't think, but listening at loud volume at home, this will nail you to the back of your chair.
