PRE-ORDER | Releasing: 4 December 2026
After the great success of their debut album Ghoyoum, Syrian-Lebanese duo Kazdoura return with Markab, their second album and first release in partnership with Habibi Funk.
Markab takes Arabic musical traditions into groovy compositions shaped by psychedelic and Anatolian rock, indie, jazz, Afrobeat and Gnawa. Arabic maqamat sit at the heart of the record, carried by Leen Hamo’s vocals, thoughtful lyrics and John Abou Chacra’s guitar, saxophone and flute. While making the album, the duo drew inspiration from artists including Altın Gün, Men I Trust and Kit Sebastian, alongside older Arabic music and records from the Habibi Funk catalogue.
Markab, meaning “vehicle,” comes from a very different place to their debut. The album is more rooted in the present, reflecting a period of greater confidence, curiosity and joy for Kazdoura. Alongside eight original compositions, Markab includes Kazdoura’s own interpretations of the traditional “Ya Maria” and Elias Rahbani’ and Georgette Sayegh's “Ya Nassini.”
