Love seeing this mix of names and video links (!) to investigate further, as so much of it is new to me...thanks for sharing this part of your world with us!
Listening to Zoe Aqua (thanks!) and wonder if you remember Gilles Apap and the Transylvanian Mountain Boys. Gilles was born in Algeria, went to the Curtis, and has played all over the world, as concertmaster as wild child and as mentor to an awful lot of fiddlers. His fiddle sings in the trad/folk/gipsy genres.

I know the name but don’t know his music too well! I’ll have a listen!
