On foot? By bike? PARTY on this Car-Free Sunday! FREE in the main hall of the AB: Omar Souleyman, all the way from Syria with his infectious 'dabke' alias his unique party-mix of Syrian, Iraqi, Kurdish, Arabic and Turkish influences on irresistible beats.
You may think of weddings or other merry festivities but you should know that in the summer of 2011 a certain exquisite collaboration with Björk is to be released, and that Omar meanwhile sees his CDs being released on the Sublime Frequencies label praised by Mauro!
Apparently, his first CD actually dates from 2006: 'Highway To Hassake', and in the meantime 'Jazeera Nights' should also be available, aside countless cassettes that have appeared on the market since the end of the last century, of course.
Add to that, most especially, his super cool act and you'll realise why Omar Souleyman is now playing the best Western pop festivals.
