OMAR SOULEYMAN (London Koko, 16/03/16)



This generation- "Generation Y", "Millenials" or whatever- gets a lot of flack, much of which is entirely deserved. But it is to their credit that this gig, wherein a middle-aged Syrian man in a didashah played Dabke-inspired techno, is primarily populated by those younger than myself. (Back in my day, they'd almost doubtlessly all be watching landfill indie, and that's just unforgivable.) An infectiously groovy performance.
