Arabic has become more than a language, to become a common culture that 21 countries share. There is more than the language in the Arabic music, there are different scales and usually different instruments, and that is what I'm usually trying to talk about. And if I'm going to label Ethiopique as Arabic, I'd be just lying to myself to enrich Arabic music.

...and as you said, music transcends language, so having them talk in Arabic for few tracks, doesn't make their music Arabic.
