singing inspired:

Jenni Grout. She's from Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Very talented--at the time this was recorded, she had only been playing Arabic music for a
couple years. Every time I watch this, I get this fear that, if I ever have a high-exposure performance like that, I will also get really nervous
start speaking my first language, English, in some strange, inexplicable accent.  )

I like that image  especially a big performance in a distant
country...must be exactly what happened,
she sounded French to me! Thanks for the info...I admire her talent. I found out some more about her too, what an adventure she's on.

At the time of the broadcast there was an extensive, appreciative, and humorous discussion of her performance, here on this forum. Using the search
function will yield enjoyable results.
No need to speculate about her non-Boston accent. In a published article or interview at the time, Jenni explains that in the middle east, people
who speak English generally do not understand her natural accent. When living in Morocco she discovered that if she pronounced English the way her
neighbors did she was easily understood. Add to that her natural inclination to adapt her speech to her environment and there is the explanation for
how she spoke on a silly television talent show, one of a number of tv appearances. We're talking about a trained opera singer, accustomed to large
audiences.

LOL! Maybe if my Arab friends spoke Arabic to me with a Brooklyn accent, a Texas drawl, or in California surfer-dude style I'd understand it better.

A friend of my father in law. A female oudist who sings, quite rare I find. I absolutely love her voice and style.

I am not sure who this artist is but she sings beautifully and plays OUD very well! What do you think?

One more to add to the list. I really like her (Nada Mahmoud) playing. Very beautiful phrasing:
