He has performed at Glastonbury, Roskilde, Bonnaroo, Pitchfork Paris, and at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Norway. He has also collaborated with mightly artists such as Four Tet and Björk. He truly is a living legend amongst legends.
 
Sometimes it feels like the world was more exotic in the past. Faroe Islanders had huldrefolk living amongst the rocks, cut peat, had cows and fished every fish with handline. In the Middle East, they had Aladdin, flying carpets, genies in lamps, and lively food markets on the streets with colourful sun-dried spices.

Omar Souleyman does just that, so you have to go!
