Penya

Penya is an untamed, genre-melting exploration of ancestral rhythms that reimagines the global music landscape.  Their debut LP “Superliminal” was released via On the Corner records in 2018.

Gilles Peterson highlighted the band as “one to watch” and they enjoyed support that included Tom Ravenscroft, Gideon Coe, Stuart Maconie, Jeremy Sole, Worldwide FM, Boiler room and the Vinyl Factory.

The band’s numerous live appearances have included Worldwide Festival Leysin, We Out Here Festival, Fusion Festival Berlin, a live broadcast from End of the Road Festival on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction, and a spellbinding performance at Farmfest 2017. They’ve supported bands like Melt Yourself Down and Sons of Kemet and their studio work has expanded via collaborative releases with Dengue Dengue Dengue, Photay, Sarathy Korwar and the Tanzanian artist Msafiri Zawose.
