When I read the title, I thought Pentangle, Richie Havens, Joni Mitchell- type of folk... did not expect the Red Army! Interesting stuff. The only music from the region that I'm slightly familiar with is Soviet jazz. This stuff seems more operatic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeNMSPY3nXg (based on an older folk song, but this is the best version ever. I'm in love with Vladimir Vysotsky.)

قل للمليحة في الخمار الأسود
مـاذا فـعــلت بــناسـك مـتـعـبد

قـد كـان شـمّر لــلـصلاة ثـيابه
حتى خـطرت له بباب المسجد

ردي عليـه صـلاتـه وصيـامــه
لا تـقــتـلــيه بـحـق ديــن محمد

Leavin Blues - Davy Graham
http://m.youtube.com/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqaamD4-VvUI&v=qaamD4-VvUI&gl=GB

But i would recommend Maajan - Davy Graham, its the fusion of traditional western folk blues and Middle Eastern music, i cant seem to find the video but its good.

House Of Rising - Joan Bez - She was known as the Queen of American folk music and was in a relationship with Bob Dylan

Master Of Wars - Bob Dylan.

I know he has received flaks from the folk music audience and artists as well for using electric guitar but he is one of the best folk artists in the movement.

Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan- one of the precursor of Rap
