Kazdoura - Khayal خيال
Founded by Leen Hamo (Syria) and John Abou Chacra (Lebanon), Kazdoura was born out of a shared passion for Arabic music. Original songs and rearranged classical Arabic songs from the Middle East and North Africa, presented through an upbeat psychedelic lens that seamlessly blends Arabic elements such as maqams and rhythms with jazz improvisation, funk, pop, and disco motifs.
[Verse 1] You look colorless No one has noticed you in here You're sitting quietly What's your secret? What is it?
[Chorus] Like a shadow Following a question If you go far away Where would you go?
[Verse 2] Stay here for a bit more Don't lose yourself, how unfortunate You're waiting for a hand, whose hand? To pull you out of your heavy past
[Chorus] Your heart is thirsty It's been a while You're afraid to speak And what would you even say?
