Janna Aana by Markus & Shahzad
Janna Aana mixes qawwali vocals, catchy melodies, dancing rhythms and heady electro riffs. The album title is the
history of the band: Markus, a band from Angers (France), met Lahore-based Shahzad Santoo Khan on social media.
A few trips between France and Pakistan sealed their collaboration. Janna Aana is composed of 10 tracks including two
feats with Hend Elrawy from Orange Blossom and Raggy from Zenzile.

After developing the Markus & Shahzad project, Markus and Cheb Xavi have created an electro-oriental trio inspired by the tape music of the 70s with Jaouad El Garouge (Voice-Gembri) from Marocco. « Alright Mela » means something like « All is well » in Maltese, a country with a mixed Arab-European culture, just like their music.
