As a classical singer and master of emotional, trance-inducing tarab and Khaleeji, Nawal has developed a style that follows in the footsteps of other pedigreed performers. Encompassing Abdullah Al Rwaished's eclectic pop and Saudi singer and oud player Mohammad Abdu's hypnotic, meditative sound, this list collects the Kuwaiti artist's inspirations from the Arabian Peninsula and beyond.
