Excellent OP. Got any examples of the Arabic music you play? I've worked in Arabic countries and really enjoy the music and various time signatures that go along with it.
I've been playing ~48 years, and for almost all of it, either jazz I've composed or straight-ahead jazz.
As far as "folk music" , I'm a big fan of the folk music of Bulgaria, Romania , Hungary, Persia, and nearly anyplace that Gypsy's have roamed on their migration from Persia to the west. In particular I like the music from Latcho Drom, and bands like Ivo Poposov (for "folk" music).
