Middle Eastern influenced songs

[corpsetranger]

I adore songs with a Middle Eastern touch. I love the instruments, the atmosphere  I would happily dive into Arabic music but I can't listen to what I don't understand and I don't speak Arabic  I find the language to be extremely beautiful but it's also extremely difficult to learn  and I'm way too busy right now 

 

Soooo... if you happen to know songs that meet the aforementioned criteria (in English, French, Spanish, Hungarian or Russian) please do share 

I'll share some more:

I don't want to come off ignorant, but would these be considered to be Middle Eastern influenced?

An underrated 2000's bop! 

I used to get sooo wet from the male dancers when I was a kid, but now looking at it now lol they are obviously gay. I feel like those dumb b*tchez that used to stan TJ (Britneys dancer) when she first came out. It's like girls...you have eyes!

I'm not an expert by any means but I think those are Indian influences I hear in these songs  But they're also welcome!!! Addictive is so addictive, love at first listen  It's definitely joining my playlist  I already knew the other two and I gotta admit Stranger is a certified BOP  I wish its parent albums would shelter more songs of this kind

It's not available in my region  Would you please write down the title of the song and its artist so I can search for it maybe somewhere else?

A classic! And since someone brought Indian influences to the table I think we should also include this for anyone interested 

Btw I'll never understand why Nicole's solo career never took off

This is the first time I hear a Christina Millian song and oh my God she has such a beautiful voice!  I like the song, is the album it's from along those lines? Should I give it a go? 

Bad Girls and Beautiful Liar I stan

Seeing people show appreciation for my cultures music is so sweet because I hate it and never listen to arab artists

[Roxxy]

@Geralt_of_Rivia you stay on my mind, fulfill my fantasies. I think about you all the time, I see you in my dreams.
