This is sweet!! Also did you know that this blog is mentioned in the new issue of ArtForum in an article on cassettes?
awesome, first time listening to Penny Penny, good stuff!
thank you
great – more from penny penny! can’t stop listening to this stuff
He seems to be so famous in South Africa but it’s hard to find information about him. He had some kind of comeback album 2009 (“The King vs. the General” – with him being the King) I’d really like to find this somewhere…
THIS IS MY JAM.
the summer’s coming. post more South African dance pop loveliness!
big UPS, Brian!
Penny Penny is back in the studio, he is my home boy, he is my ward councillor and he is my future president. his album is expected to be out very soon.
‘Petsu’
that’s great news! can you connect me with him? i would lie to ask about reissuing his records outside SA.
Thank you, Brian, for making this available! Great 1990s sound indeed.
Does anybody have any info on Penny Penny more generally? Was he (ever) politically engaged with his music? I heard about a song he made called “Apartheid”. Does anybody know when it was released? And what became of Penny Penny?
Thanks everyone!
can’t speak about his political engagement but i can say he has since become a regional politician for the ANC in his home area, so he must have some interest!

This the second Penny Penny LP saw a limited release on vinyl in Zimbabwe, by the time it came out South Africa had stopped pressing records, only the Zimbabwe plant was still operating in the region. Got my copy! PS I have a tape of Shaka Bundu Girls somewhere and also had one from Joe Shirimani the producer (will have to dig to see if it is still there).
Thanks for finally writing about > Penny Penny – Yogo Yogo

Papa Penny is doing great! He has staged a come back of sorts as of 2018. Has a reality show going strong and is active on social media. I think he has some new stuff coming out
