From Cairo, Egypt –

Maurice Louca, "Higamah (Hirudinea)" (2021)

"… Arabic music, psychedelic folk, and free improv …"

IMHO, haunting and mesmerizing as well.

I often listen to songs in a foreign language so that I focus on the instrumentality of the voice.

I listen to Maurice Louca in Arabic, Salif Keita in Bambara/ Malinke/French etc., Anjélique Kidjo in Fon/Yorùbá/Gen/French, the pop music of Tarkan in Turkish, and so on.

Salif Keita from Mali is called the "Golden Voice of Africa", so try the slow "Katolon" (2002) linked below.

And for the next eight minutes, Egyptian, what, trance?

Maurice Louca, "Benhayyi Al-Baghbaghan" (2014), live in 2015.

Maurice Louca's recent albums show jazz influences, so only the first album has this kind of music.
