The always super-interesting Penya have a brand new remix EP on the way and for the first three months, all the Bandcamp sales raised from their brilliant new single ‘False Prophets’ will be going towards the COVID-19 Medical Appeal for Cuba via the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. This campaign was launched to help Cuba access the vital medical supplies and raw materials they need to treat Covid patients and vaccinate its population.
If you don’t know Penya, they are a UK based band whose collage of genre-busting rhythms have remained Truth & Lies favourites since they first hit the scene. Tough electronics, Afro-Latino rhythms and a cutting-edge dancefloor sensibility has seen them grace On The Corner Records as well as performing live everywhere. A truly cosmopolitan group that explore the folkloric past to create their own frenetic and futuristic sound.
As the press release explains “Havana based folkloric singer (and founder of the acclaimed groups El Solar Delos Seis and Osain del Monte) Rubén Bulnes takes the reigns of ‘False Prophets’ enlisting Dayron Rodriguez (of El Nino y la Verdad) to contribute the percussion elements, with also Pachi Naranjo producing the recording in Havana.”
It’s a beauty, enjoy!
‘Penya Remixed’ will be released - 3rd December 2021 via Liminal Recordings.
