Kazdoura: Leen Hamo and John Abou Chacra's psych-soul.

Kazdoura, a name meaning 'to stroll' in Levantine Arabic, is a duo whose music carries a vintage psych-soul atmosphere of exploration, nostalgia and groove. Founded in Toronto by Syrian vocalist Leen Hamo and Lebanese multi-instrumentalist John Abou Chacra, they pair Leen's ethereal, ornamented vocals with lush, hypnotic arrangements. Their debut album Ghoyoum surpassed one million streams and won the 2026 JUNO Award for Global Music Album of the Year and the 2026 Canadian Folk Music Award for Global Roots Album of the Year. Having performed across Canada, the UK and Egypt and showcased at WOMEX, Mundial Montréal and APAP, they are now working on a second album.
