Hi, Robert. What's the Tunisian CD, or wasn't I paying proper attention...

Also, consider the following with a Sephardic Passover flavor:

Haggada de Pâques, Rite Judeo Tunisien
Cohen, Nathan
Dounia 198120
Paris   France
Out of print LP

Gaon, Yehoram
Songs for Passover in the Sephardic Tradition
CBS     80668

Schwadron, Abraham A.
Chad Gadya: Passover Chant
Smithsonian Folkways    08920
(Many, many different traditions)

Voice of the Turtle
A Different Night
Kol HaTor KHT 018

Western Wind Vocal Ensemble
Passover Story, The
Western Wind    
WW 1800

For Judeo-Arabe, the most prominent series is on Mélodie.
