About Me


A band lead by Nazareth-born Jowan Safadi (Jowan is also the son of a carpenter :). Lenzez play alternative rock in Arabic and English. The themes of the songs vary from Jowans personal experience, and deal with various subjects: love and life as a couple, relationship between minorities and majority, Arabs and Jews in other words: the life of a Palestinian, citizen of Israel, nowadays.

Between the years 2001-2003 Lenzez (also known as Lenses) have released two studio albums: the first "Shortcuts" in English and the second, "ID", in Arabic.
Around the year of 2007 LENZEZ members found joy in mixing rock and Arabic hafla music and since than, that's what they do under the name FANTASH .
