Kazdoura - Habibi Funk 037: Markab (Black Vinyl)

Markab is the second album from Toronto-formed duo Kazdoura - Syrian vocalist Leen Hamo and Lebanese multi-instrumentalist John Abou Chacra - and their first for Habibi Funk. Rooted in Arabic maqamat, it pulls in psychedelic and Anatolian rock, jazz, Afrobeat and Gnawa, with eight originals plus their takes on the traditional 'Ya Maria' and 'Ya Nassini'. The title translates as 'vehicle', and the record trades the uncertainty of debut Ghoyoum for a more confident, joyful feel.

The regular edition on black vinyl, packaged with a 12" booklet of unseen photos, bilingual lyrics and liner notes drawn from an interview with the band.
