The incredibly prolific Syrian bandleader Omar Souleyman announced Bahdeni Nami, the followup to 2013’s Wenu Wenu, back in March, and today he’s dropped a video for the title track, which was produced by English beatmaster Four Tet. The hard-charging beat plays out over clips of daily street life in Turkey interspersed with shots of Souleyman driving around and generally cutting an impressive figure anytime the camera is turned on him.
Bahdeni Nami will be released on July 24 on Monkeytown, and, in addition to Four Tet, features production credits from Gilles Peterson and Modeselektor.
