79. Omar Souleyman – Leh Jani

This 90s cassette mega hit from Syria was also found when browsing through the great archive of the label Subliminal Frequencies. The song is a perfect blend between east and west. Mostly east. Catchy like nothing else and with a awesome solo in the end. The style goes by the name dabke (I think) and the main instrument seem to be the crazy going synth.

Bonus: Youtube search for more syrian dabke music!

84. Santo & Johnny – Sleepwalk

The most summery song of all the summer songs there is. I want to lay down by the water with a bit of grass in my mouth when I hear this tune. Yes! We got it from our friend Oll-Björns fantastic blog. Santo & Johnny were an Italian-American duo from Brooklyn, comprising brothers Santo and Johnny Farina. In August 1959 it topped the American charts.
