Zazu (1986) is the debut (and, to date, only) album released by American model and singer-songwriter Rosie Vela. The album was produced by Gary Katz, best known for his work in that capacity with Steely Dan, and many of the songs feature Steely Dan's Donald Fagen on keyboards and Walter Becker on guitar. Also noteworthy is that Tony Levin plays Chapman stick on the songs 'Tonto' and 'Zazu'.

Despite receiving positive reviews and the single 'Magic Smile' reaching No. 29 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, Zazu was a commercial failure in Vela's native United States. However it was more successful in Europe, notably in the United Kingdom where it reached No. 20 on the national albums chart and earned a Silver disc. The single 'Magic Smile' was also a UK Top 30 hit. The CD album has been out of print in North America and Europe since the early 1990s but was rereleased in the UK by Cherry Red Records in 2011.

In addition to 'Magic Smile', two other tracks ('Interlude' and 'Fool's Paradise') were also released as singles.

About Zazu

It all started on a porch. Not just any porch…. The front porch of a green plantation house in the heart of Paia, HI. Spencer had the idea to give guests a local style adventure experience on Maui. First there was one Jeep, then there were two…. And now we can’t stop collecting Jeeps! Zazu means “movement,” which is perfect because we want you making moves all over Maui! We’re passionate about showing guests the island that we fell in love with years ago. There is no better way to explore the island than Zazu! No Ka Oi and Aloha

What People Are Saying About Zazu

The Jeep was perfect! It went everywhere and anywhere we wanted to go. We toured the whole island like roving hiking, swimming gypsies. Spencer was great, super responsive with questions and recommendations. Would definitely rent again next time we’re in Maui

Zazu Restaurant

Spencer was Awesome! Him and his Jeep made our stay here in Maui even better! His Jeep was in great shape and a pretty unique blue, it really stood out compared to the other normal rental jeeps. Spencer couldn’t had made it any easier for us with the airport pickup/drop off. He was super cool and always easy to get a hold of. Would definitely recommend!
Spencer’s Jeep was perfect for our adventurous trip to Maui. Camped right on the beaches, drove the entire island & made some awesome memories! The Jeep was super clean. Spencer was very kind & flexible with our schedule. We will definitely be renting this rig again on our next trip to Maui.
