Speaking on the release, Zak said \u201cMusic is the strongest form of magic, it is an explosive expression of love, and we are all touched by it no matter what culture, race or country we come from\u201d. Further expanding on his fascination for afro beat in particular, he said \u201cThe thing about Afrobeat is, it just uplifts your mood from the very 1st beat and makes you move your whole body and I think that\u2019s what people around the world need now more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Zak sees himself as a global artist not bound by any single genre or style, he has always been influenced by world music and his vision is to record in as many different styles as possible. However, as a music purist he makes sure to follow important elements and protocols of each different genre in their pure form. Afrolina is an honest attempt at ensuring the authenticity of the music remains while the vibe only gets one to groove to each beat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Album is produced by Icon Art Productions. All the songs are written and composed by the very talented award winning music producer, Sammyoung (Dubai based afro music producer). \u2018Afrolina\u2019 released on 15th June \u20182021 on the entire major digital stores iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Gaana, Saavan &amp; YouTube on the ZakZorro channel worldwide.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai, June 20 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211; Zakeer Hussain popularly known as \u2018Zak Zorro\u2019 released his latest album \u2018Afrolina\u2019.
