Bjork Confirms: Syria Is Cool

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.

    wow. Tashweesh are amazing, loved their video. do they have any more videos on-line?

    Bjork and Omar Suleyman is going to be awkward but interesting.
