Omar Souleyman

The Man, the Myth, the Legend... the mighty Omar Souleyman.

We went to see Omar and his band on Wednesday and I'm pleased to say I was blown away by what I witnessed. This is the first time they've been out of the Middle East and hopefully it won't be the last. If you ever get chance to see them GO they are amazing live and this Youtube clip doesn't do them justice. Mental Syrian folk techno pop music at it's finest! Special mention to Camp Rave Dave who simply couldn't keep up with the pounding beat!
