Rooted in Levantine Arabic music and fueled by genre-bending experimentation, Kazdoura’s debut album Ghoyoum is a vibrant fusion of Arabic Maqams, groovy rhythms, psychedelia, and soulful jazz saxophone.

Born from resilience and cultural connection, the project unites a Syrian singer (Leen Hamo) who was forced to leave her homeland due to war and a Lebanese multi-instrumentalist (John Abou Chacra). Their paths crossed at a Toronto fundraiser following the 2020 Beirut explosion—a moment that sparked a powerful musical synergy.

“Ghoyoum” is tribute to their heritage and personal journeys, echoing the voices of Arab artists who transform lived experiences into sonic storytelling.
