I was so sure I had posted Mozambique-Disco king, Penny Penny, before on Waves but I mustn't have gotten around to it. This is a seriously amazing release ripped and brought to the interweb courtesy of always on game and eclectic music site: Awesome Tapes From Africa . 'Shaka Bundu', alongside his other release 'Yogo Yogo' are some of the most (not even guiltily) enjoyable and party-worthy "ethnographic" beats around. Every song sounds the same but I'm head over heels. MP3: Penny Penny - Shichangani (Remix) [...]

Penny Penny - Shibandza Penny Penny - Shaka Bundu With an always growing list of frustrations* I've found myself only listening to music that my friends make (which totally rocks) and jamming on what I've missed out on over the years.
