Whoa, awesome! Even more bands to check out.
I've been sampling the mentioned bands that Tiggi and Steve recommended. They are all great, and I really enjoy Toumani Diabate, Kathryn Tickell, Buena Vista Social Club and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan especially. They all have a great 'organic' sound that I feel really represents the flavour of their homelands.
When I get home I'll be sure to check out the other artists that have been posted as well. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions!

^ Good advice. Spanish music from a band that are/were actually French, but of Spanish romany descent...

Couple more for the Celtic world- Julie Fowlis and Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. Just discovered them, one Scot one Irish, both from the isles, both learned the music the traditional way, both native Gaelic speakers.
