Omar Souleyman

From Syria

Since 1994, Omar Souleyman and his musicians have become folk-pop icons in Syria. Having issued more than 500 studio and live recordings at home, Omar's frenetic music reached western ears in 2006 via US recording label Sublime Frequencies. His exalted Dabke songs form a bridge between Arabic traditions and techno modernity.
By arrangement with Mina Tosti
