...The third song in your post, Ziriab,
...It is dedicated to a very famous medieval musician, who lived between Iraq and Spain (where he ended up choosing to settle and die) at that time, and who is considered the innovator of Arab-Spanish music: Abu l-Hasan Ali ibn Nafi, for the Iraqis, and Zyryab, or Ziryab, "el Mirlo" (Ziriab "the blackbird"), for the Spanish:

Since yesterday I heard this song at least 50 times and can't get enough of it. What a gem. Better one great song like this instead of a thousand mediocre songs.
The songs I post here did I collect over decades. This and then I stumble upon something very special, but songs like this are very rare and I don't expect that this thread will get long. But my collection got at least one song bigger.

From the Swaying of My Cart
Hey!...Dawn is approaching.
The roosters are crowing.
Dawn is approaching.
The roosters are crowing.
My friend, they're announcing
the journey is coming.
I work from January to January
and also from sunrise to sunset.
I work from January to January
and also from sunrise to sunset.
And what little money
they pay me for my sweat, you see...
Hey Guajiro!, go down the path Venao!
How nice!
How was it!
Hey...
I spend the year whipping
the oxens, and no wonder.
I spend the year whipping
the oxens, and no wonder
that at the end of the year:
pineapple, mamey zapote...
How sad is the life of a cart driver,
who wanders through those cane fields.
How sad is the life of a cart driver,
who wanders through those cane fields.
Knowing that his life is painful,
he rejoices in his singing.
Like a Guajiro!, go down the path Venao!
Eeeey
This lament was born from the swaying of my cart.

Friend, listen to my quartet. We don't have protection, you see.
(When will I arrive?)
When, boy?
(When will I arrive at my hut?)
Eeeey
I work from January to January and from sunrise to sunset.
I work from January to January and from sunrise to sunset.
And how small the amount of money they pay me for my sweat, you see.
(When will I arrive?)
When?!
(When will I arrive at my hut?)
Eeeey
I live all year whipping the oxen, and I don't miss.
I live all year whipping the oxen, and I don't miss.
So that at the end of the year, pineapple, mamey sapote.
(When will I arrive?)
Soon boy!
(When will I arrive at my hut?)
Eeeey
I work for the Gringo. What a traitorous destiny.
I work for the Gringo. What a traitorous destiny.
Sweating for a dollar that I'll never have in my hands.
(When will I arrive?)
Soon child!
(When will I arrive at my hut?)
Sad is the life of a carretero that travels to the canefields.
Sad is the life of a carretero that travels to the canefields.
Knowing that his life is an internal exile, he cheers himself with his songs.

Soon son!

....I, I have been fascinated by this other...

I think I understand that, although influenced by black African music, you like the Son Montuno musical style (The Baobab Orchestra is one of the many groups that practices that Hispanic style (especially Cuban, but also very popular in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama , Colombia, Venezuela or Spain)). The same style is that of the Afrocubism song you like.
This is danced very softly and slowly (suave y despacito), and if it is as a couple, very close together...

Thanx for explaining. Never heard of Son Montuno. Good to have a keyword to search for now.
I Think you will also like this one:

Search for 'Klangwelten'. This was a series of projects of Ruediger Oppermann, a German harp-player, who lived many years abroad in many countries and brought musicans together. You will find many completly different music styles from many countries. Often mixed. I once saw him together on stage with the Mongolian solo singer in this thread.

Cuuuumbiaaaa!!....
Look at the bored ones..:
With their feet depressed
Look how they get up with their twisted legs
Look how they purse their lips
Look at the fat one, holding her belly in
Look how breathless she gets
Going down to the bottom, deep, real down
With a round movement
A bit of tequila with salt
To stimulate the spine
And wake all the organs of your body up
We're gonna resurrect the dead
Those who never dance, who are forgotten
Without getting up with the balls touching the blessed thigh
Those who smell like an old man's piss
Those are the ones that I bring back to life
And to them I bring back the appetite
With a bit of pornography
Woman, you're all geometry
You got the pudding that I like
Full of stretch marks
Like in a candy shop
With a short skirt
With a style from Miami
Showing half the salami
Here, I bring you gandinga
Old ldy, stamp 'cause you're not a Gringa
I'll shake you like a sneeze
I'll make you vomit your breakfast
I'll teach you my masculine language
And with it I vaccinate you
Look at the bored ones… booo!!
With their feet depressed… booo!!
Look how they get up with their twisted legs
Look how they purse their lips… look, look
Look at the fat one, holding her belly in
Look how breathless she gets… look
Going down to the bottom, deep, real down… look, look
To the old ladies I talk with my feminine rhetoric
With a bit of Greek philosophy
So that they loosen up
And start stinging like bees
If there's no partner
Well, we dance with our shadow
Here there's no carpet
Here we dance in the mud
With a bit of Charango
Let's slide those feet like in Tango
And if you got tanga
To show all the belly
Where the gang comes from
With a fuss
To get an eyeful of your junk
My god! You're gonna kill me with an asthma attack
You're gonna kill me like a ghost
With the fear of all this mess it moves
I go all the way to Cusco
I go all the way to Peru
Nake… naked
I eat the entire chicken
I eat your steak raw
You, you, you, but only you, no one else
You got me fat and well cared for
But very spoiled
She cooks for me and I cook for her
A real turkey like the Pilgrims
You got me spinning like a whirlwind
From side to side like a penguin
You're a fantasy, you're a myth
Like Snow White and the seven dwarfs
With this little shake to my balls
They feel like having thirteen little bastards
Look at the bored ones… booo!!
With their feet depressed… booo!!
Look how they get up with their twisted legs
Look how they purse their lips… look, look
Look at the fat one, holding her belly in
Look how breathless she gets… look
Going down to the bottom, deep, real down…
With a round movement… look
Look...

¡Ja, ja, ja!... ...They are only missing the authentic Mexican charro hats...bought on the Rambla in Barcelona, heh, heh... By the way, the rhythmic base is not Mexican, but rather Catalan-type Spanish rumba...:

That German schlager ode to Mexico may have a Spanish rumba rhythmic base, which would have its roots in Cuba, but the vibe is more Polish-American polka, which they say is really from Czechia. If that's not world music, I don't know what is.
