Omar Souleyman is a legendary performer whose energetic music not only enriches weddings throughout the Middle East - among listeners of electronic sounds, his street sound, which harks back to the idiom of Shaabi music, enjoys equal popularity. The repetitive, hypnotic tracks are sometimes labelled "Syrian Techno". On the album "Bahdeni Nami", which was released last year, internationally known greats such as Four Tet and Modeselektor participated. Omar Souleyman himself once had to flee Syria. Since then, he has been campaigning for people who also have to leave their homeland due to the war.
