Since 1994, Omar Souleyman has been performing a high energy brand of music known as dabke. The keyboiard driven sounds were brought to American ears courtesy of the Sublime Frequencies label.

His new albun Wenu Wenu is a propoer studio release (as opposed to the compliations that culled from his cassette recordings). We hear a track tongiht on Radio M.

Also, a classic Bowie cut from his Lodger album, bachata music from the Dominican Republic and Palestian inspired uindie rock from Milwaukee.
