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 and his band have recorded over 500 cassettes (mostly live recordings made at his wedding gigs) that have become a staple of music kiosks in major Syrian cities. He also cuts a striking figure with his oversized sunglasses, mustache, and keffiyeh. Souleyman is best-known for his 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.
