Amazing drummer for long years worked with a lot of big names such as Sting, Dire Straits, David Bowie, Weather Report, Madonna and many others. Currently is percussion director in Berklee college in Boston.
amazing story anyway, Omar's work on Knopfler's Brothers in arms album is wonderful (I especially like his drumming on Your latest trick and Ride across the river)
I truely believe that sting put together the greatest band of session musicians together of all time...not only that he couldn't bully them because they were all one notch above him... god bless the late Kenny Kirkland.. ohmar theres a place waiting for you in another band and that's wait for it "RUSH" only you can fill those shoes
Synchronicity ! ✨
Great album!
🤣
It’s amazing how Sting’s manager was looking for Omar while they were both on that island!! It was definitely meant to be!!

Sting did write the songs.
…shame it cut out where it would have been great to hear the rest of the story
Sorry John, that was the whole Sting collaboration story!
Check out the Sting documentary “Bring on the Night”. Engaging stuff.
Why did Omar stop playing for Sting after one album?
I remember reading it was over money and disputes with Sting's manager at the time, Miles Copeland.
@@Djtasic all ways that money. I mean everyone should have been paid handsomely! I music business someone is always scamming!
@@eugenebrown4163 Unfortunately, that is true!
@@Djtasic I don't like Miles Copeland that much, he seems very arrogant.
@@dystopia2386 I agree with you!
