בנעוריו היה כהן חבר בלהקת בני מחול ובפלמ"ח היה אחד מחברי "חבורת האש" שמרבית חבריה היו מהמחלקה הערבית של הפלמ"ח. אנשי החבורה נהגו לעשות קומזיצים בשעות הערב והיו יושבים מסביב למדורה ושרים שרים עבריים.

שלמה כהן ורעייתו שרה הופיעו באירועים שונים בארץ. בשנת 1978 הקליטו אלבום לכבוד 30 שנה למדינת ישראל "30 שנות זמר מסב ב למדורה" עם סולימאן הגדול וחבורת הזמר מקיבוץ שפיים

בשנת 1992 הוענק לשלמה כהן תואר "יקיר העיר גבעתיים".

Shlomo Cohen
1921–2009

Shlomo Cohen (known as Soliman HaGadol – "Soliman the Great") was born in 1921 in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv.

In his youth, Cohen was a member of the Bnei Machol dance troupe, and in the Palmach he was one of the members of the “Fire Troupe,” most of whose members came from the Palmach’s Arab Department. The troupe would gather for evening bonfires, sit around the fire, and sing Hebrew songs.

Shlomo Cohen and his wife Sarah performed at various events in Israel. In 1978, they recorded an album in honor of Israel’s 30th anniversary: “30 Years of Song Around the Campfire” with Soliman HaGadol and the singing troupe from Kibbutz Shefayim.

In 1992, Shlomo Cohen was awarded the title of “Worthy Citizen of Giv’atayim.”
