Shayan moved to the US as a teenager, and infused his music with an added &#8220;zing&#8221;, ensuring they were not limited by genre, and thus ensuring their popularity. Zinga the band is still very popular in Bangladesh, while Zinga the artist &#8211; Shayan &#8211; will release a brand new album in March, recorded in both English and Bangla. The result will surely be a wider audience for both artist and band.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zinga&#8217;s new single, &#8216;Dance With Me&#8217; combines traditional Tabla and Latin percussion, giving it an east meets west feel. It&#8217;s impossible to sit still while listening to the up tempo rhythms. The song comes to life thanks to the contribution of musicians from Italy, Dubai, Mexico, Lithuania, and Berlin, Germany. In these days of lockdown and closed borders, we are able to travel the world just by listening to this song, and we emulate the words of Shayan&#8217;s father, Shafaat Ali, who said, &#8220;Music is music &#8211; it has no boundaries&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Zinga and his music online on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ZingaGoshty\/\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zinga1963\/\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/user-925669596-26559265\">Soundcloud<\/a>, and his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thezinga.com\/\">Official Website<\/a>.
