Omar Souleyman

A few years ago when a Syrian act was released on Sublime Frequencies no one would have expected that it would trigger such commotion. Long since a household name in his homeland, Souleyman can now be found performing on major festival stages in the western hemisphere and has been tipped as one of the hottest Near East acts of them all. The formula is a modern fusion of regional variations of traditional Dabke music. Souleyman’s iridescent-energetic voice is mirrored in ornamental Oriental keyboard lines, which the fingers of legendary musician Rizan Sa'id tap into the keys at a frenetic speed. The product is hypnotic synth-pop-folk that maneuvers us into realms of psychedelic ecstasy.
