Chan and Chana are made for each other - Their names are alike, but Chan and Chana’s differences are what fuel their music.

She is a New York-born Dominican who found her way to L.A. via Miami. He’s the Chinese/Peruvian son of a U.N. diplomat who bounced around the globe before settling here too. She’s an aspiring singer raised on salsa and merengue. He’s a budding producer who creates hip beats but still gets goose bumps when he hears Peru’s traditional música criolla.It’s only a coincidence that their names are so alike. He’s Marthin Chan, an alt/Latino rocker with a scruffy beard, red pants and a hint of shyness. She goes just by Chana” (myspace page) “(short for Rosanna), a svelte and glamorous extrovert who studied modern dance and wears chic knee-high leather boots, a wool scarf and earrings made of feathers dangling down to her shoulders.

Chan and Chana are part of L.A.’s burgeoning cultural collage, bringing pan-Latino sensibilities to the local music scene. Their sound comes straight outta Echo Park — an infectious fusion of Caribbean rhythms, cool electronic vibes and sharp, satirical lyrics. She calls it trop-electro-hip-pop.”*
