Omar Souleyman

"Omar Souleyman is a Syrian musical legend. Since 1994, he and his musicians have emerged as a staple of folk-pop throughout Syria, but until now they have remained little known outside of the country. To date, they have issued more than five-hundred studio and live- recorded cassette albums which are easily spotted in the shops of any Syrian city"

He released his debut album, "Haflat Gharbia - The Western Concerts" in 2011, followed by: "Leh Jani" (also 2011), "Wenu Wenu" (2013), "Bahdeni Nami" (2015), "To Syria, with Love" (2017), plus 2019's: "Shlon".
