When she met multi-instrumentalist (guitarist and saxophonist) Johnny, he was very enthusiastic to learn and play songs from his Arabic background. Together they fused old Arabic songs (some over 50 to 100 years old) with many musical influences such as blues, funk and jazz. Now, Kazdoura is ready to present their debut single "Wein".
