Markus & Shahzad – Janna Aana (Dionysiac Records, 2020)
The French trio Markus met Pakistani singer and musician Shahzad Santoo Khan by chance on social media around 6 years ago. A few trips between France and Pakistan sealed their collaboration and gave another dimension to their Qawwali and Breakbeat fusion.
Their musical signature is very unique and not easy to forget; a fusion of traditional Qawwali and uplifting electronic music with a French touch, a hint of psychedelia and bewitching harmonies offering a tasty, unexpected and imaginative mix. Their first album was “Tumba!”
