Tootard are a young, trailblazing ensemble founded by brothers Hasan & Rami Nakleh (born in occupied Golan Heights, currently based in Bern & Haifa) who deftly fuse levant-tinted desert blues, melodis psych-rock, morphed reggae and classical arabic modalities. Their second album Laissez Passer, is their debut international release and one of the first such releases from their homeland. Restless, buoyant and eclectic.
