Check the following bands/artists:

-Loop Guru
-Abdel Ali Slimani (the album on RealWorld with Jah Wobble on bass and
Sinead O'Connor/Natacha Atlas doing guest vocals on one track each)
-Jah Wobble's 'Heaven and Earth' (with Jaki Liebezeit, Natacha
Atlas, Pharoah Sanders, Bernie Worrell, DXT and others)
-Transglobal Underground
-Natacha Atlas
-Bally Sagoo
-Khaled
-Delerium (the new album 'Karma' is more global, the previous 'Semantic
Spaces' is very Enigma-esque)
-Dead Can Dance

peace,
Jakub.
