Admittedly, Omar Souleyman looks a bit like a new creation of Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen, but this Syrian pop star is definitely the real deal and with his enticing music signs for one of the festival hypes of this summer (Omar played for a frenzied crowd at the legendary Glastonbury festival in the United Kingdom). Along with Kurdish keyboard virtuoso Rizad Sa'id, Souleyman mainly performs Syrian dabke and Iraqi choubi. 'Jazeera Nights' should prove an interesting introduction to Souleyman's work as this album is made up of songs taken from remastered Syrian cassette tapes from the period 1995 - 2009.
