Posted on: August 27th, 2007 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!

Sublime Frequencies is a very strange record company. Do they actually have rights to everything they put out?
