Known publicly as a performer who blends traditional dabke/wedding music with electronic production and who has performed internationally.

A vivid, enthusiastic DeBaser review praising Omar Souleyman's raw, high-energy dabke as captured on the Dabke 2020 compilation. The reviewer highlights the abrasive, electronic-tinged wedding/dabke sound and a striking live-festival impression. Packaging is criticized (Sublime Frequencies compilation). Overall rating in the review: 5/5.
