Zanna
"Zanna" is a song originally written and performed by Belgian musician Luc van Acker and American singer Anna Domino in 1984. It was released as single by Wax Trax! Records, with two songs on the B-side, Fear In My Heart and Traveling. It was also included on Van Acker's album The Ship.
Van Acker originally wanted more collaborations with Domino, but she preferred a solo career.
Cover versions
A successful 2011 cover of Zanna was performed by Belgian musician and songwriter Selah Sue, Tom Barman and The Subs. 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". 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
