Natacha Atlas: Mon Amie la Rose

It's not alot of times that you hear an Arabic singer, sing in French, with Arab influenced music. Wikipedia can expain it better:

"Atlas was born to a father of Moroccan, Egyptian, and Palestinian ancestry[1] who was born in Jerusalem and a British mother who had converted to Islam..." (wikipedia)

The song itself is a remake of a song from 1965 by Francoise Harding, that was based on a poem by Cecile Caulier and Jacques Lacombe. Translated, it seems pretty deep.
