"Zanna" is a song originally written and performed by Belgian musician Luc van Acker and American singer Anna Domino in 1984 [1] [2]. It was released as single by Wax Trax! Records, with two songs on the B-side, Fear In My Heart and Traveling [3]. It was also included on Van Acker's album The Ship (1985) [4][5] [6].
Van Acker originally wanted more collaborations with Domino, but she preferred a solo career. [7]
Cover versions
[edit]A successful 2011 cover of Zanna was performed by Belgian musician and songwriter Selah Sue, Tom Barman and The Subs.[8] This version was released on 25 November 2011 as a digital download in Belgium. It is the theme song for the charity event "Music for Life 2011".[9] In 2012 the song made a comeback due to the success it had with "Music for Life". Van Acker performed at the Suikerrock festival with a 14-year-old girl who was named after the song "Zanna". Van Acker has previously met the family in 1998 after having made a remix using the sound of her heartbeat in vitro. However, in 2012, music brought the two back together after having found Zanna Ramaekers's a cappella cover of "Zanna" on YouTube. They performed on the stage at Suikerrock and on the Belgian national TV show "Villa Vanthilt".
Music video
[edit]A music video to accompany the 2011 re-release of "Zanna" was first released onto YouTube on 28 November 2011 at a total length of three minutes and fifty-seven seconds.[10]
