Syrian wedding singer Omar Souleyman specializes in a high-octane version of dabke, a traditional style of music performed during line dances at weddings and other celebrations. Souleyman is prolific. He has recorded over 500 cassettes (mostly live recordings made at wedding gigs) that have become a staple of music kiosks in major Syrian cities. 2007's Highway to Hassake, a compilation on the Sun City Girls' Sublime Frequencies label, was compiled from these many cassettes and caught the ears of critics and club-goers across the globe. Souleyman cuts a striking figure with his oversized sunglasses, mustache, and keffiyeh. He is best-known for his outlandish live performances, which are bizarre, carnivalesque affairs featuring breakneck techno stylings with pitch-shifted synths and brittle beats, and collaborators whispering poetry into Souleyman’s ear. He has played Glastonbury, All Tomorrow's Parties, and many other global festivals. His 2011 album, Haflat Gharbia: The Western Concerts, was placed in serious rotation among club-goers in Berlin, New York, and London, paving the way for his Four Tet-produced Wenu Wenu in 2013. 2017's To Syria with Love focused on medium-boil dabke and ballads. 2019's Shlon, also recorded in London, showcased a brand new band. Following the pandemic and his return to touring, Souleyman issued Erbil on Mad Decent in 2024, titled after the Iraqi city he resides in.
