Don't know how I missed this Arab-Nobel Prize factoid

Remember the Jewish v. Arab Nobel Prize winner comparison I posted here?

I saw this today and couldn't believe I missed this about Hakim...

According to the London based Elaph, Hakim is considered to be the first Arab singer to participate in the prestigious event. The singer was chosen on the basis that he is considered to be one of the most popular Arab singers who performs with singers from the around the world.

I wonder how many Jewish performers have taken the stage?
