Awesome Tapes from Africa is an amazing source of African music, but most of the time the tunes are a little difficult to really get to know. The most recent offering from Awesome Tapes is Penny Penny, a South African artist whose tracks from 1994 sound surprisingly current and accessible. Their description of Penny Penny's "simple yet deep synth-pop anthems" might be stretching the pop sensibilities of the tape a little, but still there are some great languid summer jams here. These tracks are not just interesting African music, they really transcend the cultural divide and are enjoyable modern pop tunes. Enjoy on a hot, sunny day. Also, its Mothers Day today - don't forget to buy your mom flowers! AAAANNNNDDDD it was Claire's birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday!
