    I've been trying to find songs with a certain distinction to them. The best example I have at my disposal is in the song, 'Desert Rose'.

    Especially from 2:40-2:45. That's what I'm talking about. It's usually female vocals that sound like what I'm looking for though.

    I love the "Middle Eastern"ish sounding vocals in any song. I was wondering if there was a name for it because I've been trying to find other songs like it to add to my iTunes.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I was looking around and it appears that Cheb Mami's genre is Raï
    There's information about that here

    There's also a list of genres here

    Ah, it's not Rai I'm looking for though, I looked that up. Thanks though.
