In observance of John Bolton's departure from the administration, a hopeful, musical message

This one's definitely in the "culture" section of this forum. I've compiled a list of the record labels offering Middle Eastern (and African) music on the MP3 downloading site eMusic (www.emusic.com ). I invite regional experts to fill in the gaps in my knowledge of what Sharif does and does not like: https://np.reddit.com/r/eMusicofficial/comments/d2jqjl/african_middle_eastern_studies_on_emusic/
I will be posting excerpts of this in individual country forums, but I expect there to be general interest here. Thanks in advance for reading and comments.

Gulf wealth: All that glitters is not gold

By James M. Dorsey
A podcast version of this story is available on Soundcloud, Itunes, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, Spreaker, Pocket Casts, Tumblr, Patreon, Podbean and Castbox.
Little suggests that fabulously wealthy Gulf states and their Middle Eastern and North African beneficiaries have recognized what is perhaps the most important lesson of this year’s popular uprisings in Algeria and Sudan and the 2011 Arab revolts: All that glitters is not gold.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and to a lesser extent Kuwait have in the last decade invested billions of dollars in either reversing or hollowing out the revolts’ achievements in a bid to ensure that political change elsewhere in the region does not come to haunt them.
Qatar, in a counterintuitive strategy that has earned it the ire of the rulers of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, has sought to achieve the same goal by attempting to be on the right side of the region’s forces of change.
