I love Anoushka Shankar's Land of Gold, pretty much everything I heard by Rokia Traore, Seckou Keita. Fatou by Fatouwata Diawara is also great. Trilok Gurtu has his hands in an endless number of interesting projects.
I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine.

The four first I could think of:

Rabih Abou-Khalil - Al-Jadida (Lebanon) (1991)
Oriental Wind - Zikir (Turkey) (1979)
Vasant Rai (with Oregon) - Spring Flowers (India) (1979)
Ananda Shankar - And His Music (1975) (India)

Crazy to think that Osiris failed to make a name for themselves, even just locally in Bahrain itself. They were and still are a pretty underground band.

OSIRIS      If you think music from the Middle East is no great sheikhs, then think again, because this is the musical equivalent of a black gold oil strike in a barren desert. Take a Closer Look and check out the incredible sound of Osiris from the tiny desert kingdom of Bahrain, where prog is as rare as a Bar Mitzvah in Saudi Arabia. Shalom.

Hasan Hajdar - Zebi (Tajikistan)

This folk ballad has a certain mystical aura to it for some reason. It's very aetheral and uplifting but there's an element of sadness and solitude creeping in.

I kinda wish I understood Persian/Tajik so that I have some sense of what the lyrics are about. xd

With this thread, I'd like to put some more focus on artists from the non-Western world which blend some non-Western traditional/Classical music with Jazz/Rock/Folk. I reckon that this categorization is rather loose, but my favourite albums and some examples are something like:

Osibisa (Africa) - Osibisa    (1971)
The "Gunesh" Ensemble (Turkmenistan) - Looking At The Earth (1984)
Shankar (India) - Song for Everyone   (1985)
Moussa Diallo (Mali) - the-kékéliba-project (1999)
Garbarek & Khan (India, Pakistan) - Ragas and Sagas (1992)
Trilok Gurtu (India) - The Glimpse   (1996)
Bayuba Cante (int) - Cheba   (2000)
Lin Di & Cool Zone (China) - Ten Days in Magic Land   (2003)
Dhafer Youssef (Tunisia) - Electric Sufi    (2001)
