I’d also point to British Bahraini trumpeter Yazz Ahmed’s related album A Paradise in the Hold. She was also a part of the Cuban Khaleeji Project commissioned by The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi which led to @boomdiwan.bsky.social x Arturo. Start with the title track 2

I don’t think @boomdiwan.bsky.social is totally active here yet, so I’m also sharing his album. https://boomdiwan.bandcamp.com/album/minarets
