THE HAFLA MUST GO ON

About Me

FANTASH is the hafla-rock project of Jowan Safadi of Nazareth and the surviving members of lenzez, his former band.FANTASH music was a unique blend of psychedelic punk-rock and Arabic folk Hafla- the Arabic way to party, sing along and dance.

The themes of the songs vary from social & political protest, to love & hate relations philosophy.
The band started in 2007 as a transformation of Jowan’s former band LENZEZ,The word "FANTASH" is a nick name for a guy with glasses, In palestinian slang. Others use it for a guy who needs ears straightening (probably a result of wearing glasses for too many years).
