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.

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!
