Per NPR, Bjork is going to collaborate with a Syrian pop star, Omar Suleyman. Fantastic! I am a sucker for Middle Eastern synthesizers, and I trust Bjork implicitly. And if more people hear about cool things happening in Syria because of it, all the better.
I wish I were cool enough to say, “Oh yeah, Omar Suleyman…I’ve got all his bootlegs.” But I am too busy wallowing in old-school nostalgic Arabic music, like fellow Syrian Sabbah Fakri.
But Omar–he’s speaking to the kids today, rockin’ the rural style and gettin’ the ladies to do some serious jiggling.
Throw a dinner party without having a breakdown!

That is so embarrassing. I am going to die of shame. Why doesn’t she collaborate with Sabah Fakhri instead.
By the way, the first link “per NPR, Bjork….” doesn’t work.
Yeah, it is a sort of random sliver of Syria! Fixed the link–thanks for the heads up!
