24 Kitchen Street continue to develop their live programme, inviting Syrian wedding singer extraordinaire, Omar Souleyman, for a live performance and Liverpool debut, Saturday 2nd February 2019. An icon in both world and electronic music, he’s established an international following touring major cities across the world, with recent performances at Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, Pitchfork and Roskilde all becoming talking points.

Having established his career from humble origins circa 1994, he quickly became a household name across the Middle East. He’s now recorded hundreds of live albums at Syrian weddings, which were then reproduced and sold at local kiosks. His first studio album, Wenu Wenu was released in 2013 to high critical acclaim.

Owner of 24 Kitchen Street, Ioan Roberts said, “We’ve been toying with the idea of booking him since we started and decided off the back of a run of recent successful shows that it was time to take the plunge. It’s the latest in a series of concerts which has seen some hugely talented musicians from all around the world pass through – we’ve been incredibly lucky to witness Sun Ra Arkestra, 47Soul, SOPHIE and Helena Hauff up close and personal.”

Support on the night comes from genre-defying maverick and UpitUp records founder Jacques Malchance, and SisBis resident, Giovanna.
