Adja / Kazdoura

In the organizer's words:

Two concerts on the same day at Ampere!

Adja:

Brussels-based artist Adja Fassa releases her debut album two years after her highly acclaimed EP IRONEYE - a multi-layered, haunting work.

In eleven songs, she explores the effects of our capitalist society on intimate relationships: from dystopian neo-soul stories about Deliveroo riders and telemarketers selling "hope and dreams" to reinterpreted jazz and classical music motifs about friendships that depend on time and money. There is also an ironic protest rock song. The title track Golden Retrieve Her bundles emotional states and musical curiosity in equal measure. The title is a play on words about the desire to reclaim goodness in a violent social system and at the same time a criticism of the expectation of being naive or feigning naivety - condensed in the image of the supposedly perfect, obedient nuclear family with a golden retriever.

Serious themes, symbolically packaged: Adja developed four tarot cards as a visual extension of the album. They stand for power and powerlessness in the system, projection and lost connections, moral turning points and the - painful and liberating - return to oneself.

Kazdoura:

Kazdoura - "to walk" in Levantine - stands for movement, discovery and connection. Founded in Toronto by Syrian singer Leen Hamo and Lebanese multi-instrumentalist John Abou Chacra, the project was born out of a shared musical passion in 2020. What began as an experiment quickly developed into one of Canada's most exciting acts, combining Arabic heritage with global sounds.

The focus is on an open-genre sound: traditional and contemporary Arabic music meets psychedelia, funk and soul. Deep grooves, shimmering melodies and Leen's ornamented voice in Syrian Arabic create an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and forward-looking. The debut album Ghoyoum (2025) reached over one million streams and won several awards. Internationally acclaimed live performances - from Canada to Europe and Egypt - underline Kazdoura's role as a cultural bridge. The duo are currently working on their second album and continuing to develop their distinctive sound.

Note: Both concerts can be booked separately, but a combined ticket is also available!
