The Jam Jar are excited to welcome back Toronto based band Kazdoura, after their UK debut earlier this year!
With roots in Syria and Lebanon, their music is a fusion of Arabic sounds with a soulful and psychedelic feel. Their irresistible groove and presence has been wildly successful online, reaching millions around the world, and we can't wait to see them live and direct on our stage.

KAZDOURA
Kazdoura is a Toronto-based band that serves up Arabic fusion with a modern twist. Equal parts nostalgia and reinvention, their style is a cross-cultural blend of Eastern and Western music that blends Arabic with jazz, funk, electro-pop, and disco. Singer Leen and multi-instrumentalist Johnny Abou Chacra founded the project together, quickly finding success online, where their videos have collected more than 3 million views on Tik Tok. Leen is a Syrian singer whose passion for classical Arabic music led her to collaborate with both classical and contemporary artists in order to reinvigorate this music and introduce it. Johnny is a jazz-trained musician who jumped at the idea to learn and play songs from his Lebanese background.
