Dear Meris,
At CAJE, 2002 in TX there was an incredible group of 4 ladies from the Austin 
area called Divahn (a word common to Hebrew, Persian and Arabic and means a 
collection of songs or poetry). If I remember correctly the lead singer, Galeet 
Dardashti's grandparents were from Iran. The music is from Iran, Iraq, 
Israel, Turkey. Styles: Mizrakhi, Ladino with very eclectic instruments. Not 
sure if 
this is what you are looking for but very intersting and well done.
