It’s interesting that in Israel there’s a big revival of Arabic music interpreted by 2nd 3rd generation Israelites, (who grow up with this music at home but had no other exposure in media, because of the complete dominance and mostly enforced Eastern European culture.)
The difference is that it’s not a fusion of western and Arabic style, rather sort of traditional and popular Arabic music covered authentically, with a contemporary production quality, if I can say that.

Here’s a great example:
