Omar Souleyman – “Warni Warni” Video

Omar Souleyman — per NPR, “the hottest Syrian speaker-slayer at work in the West” — releases his Four Tet-produced Wenu Wenu today. To mark the occasion he’s also released director Cali Thornhill DeWitt’s video for Wenu track “Warni Warni” in which he dances goofily in front of global monuments including the pyramids and the Arc de Triomphe, stands on top of a moving minivan, presides over a massive concert and a raging rooftop party, sits on a staircase next to video projections of bald eagles and elephants, smokes cigarettes, and generally looks like a badass. Enjoy all seven body-rocking, keyboard-soloing minutes of it below.

Spoiler alert: He ends up in outer space.

Wenu Wenu is out now on Ribbon Music.
