Omar Khorshid – “Guitar El Chark (Guitar of the Orient)” 2xLP
Sublime Frequencies are just great at what they do – pulling criminally under-appreciated international musicians out of obscurity (at least here) and introducing them to the world. After treating us to the genius of folks like Omar Souleyman and Group Doueh, their newest release is from the late Egyptian guitar legend Omar Khorshid. “Guitar El Chark (Guitar of the Orient)” collects some of Khorshid’s most amazing work, stuff that covers psych, surf, bellydance, and everything in-between. I promise you will be impressed by this record, this shit is the real deal. The deluxe 2xLP is $27.50 and can be purchased at ForcedExposure.com.
