Laure Daccache

I just recently came across this very interesting figure from the
past, a composer as well as a singer.  After listening to the mp3s at
Al Mashriq, I'd be very interested in getting some of her work on CD,
but have yet to find a U.S. distributor who carries anything by her. 
After a quick listen, I find myself thinking there is something
distinctive about her style.  For one thing, she does not seem to rely
on a stiff violin section playing in response to each line by the
singer, a musical formula that even the best Arab composers seemed to
rely on more and more heavily in the 60's (but starting earlier).

She seems like an artist ripe for recovery.  While she is obviously
not completely forgotten (there is a web-page about her after all),
the fact that I am only becoming aware of her now, after ten years of
listening to this music, makes me think she has been somewhat
neglected.
