| Penya's self-titled, wild and untamed sophomore album reimagines the |
| global music landscape. A genre melting exploration of ancestral |
| rhythms, "Penya" asks the question: "How deep do our roots reach into |
| the unseen places that keep us anchored to the real world?" |
| |
| The answers revealed themselves through an intuitive creative process |
| guided by feeling. The word "Penya" arrived as a nod to the Spanish |
| word "Pena" which describes a meeting place of celebration for |
| musicians and artists. |
| |
| Lead singer and multi instrumentalist Lilli Elina has had a life long |
| love affair with Cuban music. Lilli's lyrics resonate with spiritual |
| messages, personal stories and snippets of her native Finnish |
| language alongside Spanish and ancient Yoruba. |
| |
| Percussionist Jim le Messurier found his key to the mystery among Ana |
| drummers in Cuba as an apprentice drumming to Afro-Cuban praise |
| songs: "I felt like I was at the centre of things, in sync with a |
| web of connections that went far beyond the music". |
| |
| Jim is now a member of this fraternity, and messages of transmission |
| and initiation made their way into "Baba Meyi" and "The Dazzling One" |
| containing invocations in Yoruba (the poetic language used in the |
| Cuban santeria religion) and Guernsey-French patois, the language of |
| his island upbringing. |
| |
| Inspired by 6 months living in Havana, producer Magnus P.I deepened |
| his percussive knowledge via Morocco, Turkey, India and Tanzania |
| through a desire to understand the human connections that exist |
| between the regions. |
| |
| Combined with Magnus's journeying approach, Penya's Cuban influences |
| coalesce with bendir's from Morocco, dhol drums and tablas from |
| India, marimbas, vibraphones, and a myriad of found, sampled and |
| electronic sounds from all corners. |
| |
| Viva Msimang's trombone sound adds significant weight and depth to |
| the album's sonics. Growing up in North London to a South African and |
| Chilean family, Viva's multicultural upbringing is evident in her |
| approach - equally at home as a vocalist, in the rave, or playing in |
| salsa and timba bands, Viva pushes the boundaries of her instrument, |
| contributing urban bass lines, experimental horn motifs, ethereal |
| melodies and Nuyorican-inspired improvisations throughout the album. |
| |
| "We are releasing our 2nd album independently via our label Liminal |
| Recordings. The label will expand our ideas within the new global and |
| electronic soundscape emerging at this moment in time. Our second |
| album is a snap shot of this evolution" |
