Wenu Wenu

Omar Souleyman - the Syrian artist who not only changed the vibe of weddings throughout the Middle East with his Shaabi street sound but also brought it to the West through his notorious late night festival slots - has finally recorded an album. After three compilations and a live release, 'Wenu Wenu is his first album to be recorded in a studio'. Produced by Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), 'Wenu Wenu' combines aspects of Middle Eastern dabke dance music and traditional songs with his own contemporary style. Often described as 'Syrian techno', Souleyman records and performs live with long-time collaborator Rizan Sa'id.Limited edition numbered 180 gram pressing with tip on jacket and download.
