عمر سليمان

عمر سليمان stands as one of Syria’s most recognisable musical figures, renowned for his energetic and hypnotic dabke sound. Drawing from deep roots in traditional Levantine wedding music, سليمان has continually redefined the boundaries of dabke with a vibrant, contemporary touch that captivates listeners across the globe. Since his emergence, he has become synonymous with the genre, his distinctive voice and infectious melodies making him a favourite among aficionados of esoteric and folk-driven electronic music.

In March 2024, سليمان released the album Erbil, adding to a celebrated discography that also includes notable works such as Shlon (2019) and To Syria, with Love (2017). He continues to innovate with new material, as evidenced by the scheduled release of the single Damascus in December 2025. Each recording showcases his unique approach to live music, where traditional dance rhythms intertwine with contemporary production.

Concertgoers in London will have the chance to experience his dynamic performance at Crystal Palace Bowl in August 2026, where عمر سليمان will join the billing as a support act to Saint Levant. For fans of dabke, Arabic folk, and boundary-pushing world music, following عمر سليمان’s journey and keeping an eye on his upcoming gigs is essential for discovering unforgettable live shows and future tour dates.
