Omar Souleyman - Leh Jani

My new favorite song. And a video to go with it.....
Originally released on cassette in Syria, this was re-released on CD on Sublime Frequencies. There is a pretty comprehensive bio on the youtube page. Apparently, he just relocated to Columbus, Ohio. His myspace page is classic - obviously, it's the music that matters. ;-) Thanks to Ramesh for the tip!

wow! amazing...love it
Funky! I like the way the synth-line squeaks and gags its way through the melody, becoming, er, warpeder and warpeder throughout. I also like how he pretends it's a flute in parts of the video! :)
Sublime Frequencies is a very strange record company. Do they actually have rights to everything they put out?
He's makin' it rain in Syria!
