In light of the fact that the PENYA EP just recently made it to our Best of 2011 list, producer and musician Jimmy Le M sent this terrific Chismosa video our way. I think you’ll agree, great stuff all around. Show your love for Penya. Purchase both the single and the EP.

PENYA’s debut EP reflects a rare breadth of musical vision informed by years of experience in a multitude of different genres that include Latin American, film music, folk, classical and rock. Each member of the band brings live, acoustic performances of real musicianship to illuminate the journey that PENYA takes the listener on. The vocals in PENYA’€™s colourful and vibey travelogue come in the form of ANGELICA LOPEZ. Hailing from Cartagena, on Colombia’€™s caribbean coast, Angelica brings a unique combination of the ethereal with the earthy – think Kate Bush meets Celia Cruz.
