Penny Penny
Yogo Yogo
From South African singer Penny Penny comes a reissue of his sophomore album 'Yogo Yogo', originally released in 1996. It solidified Penny Penny's standing in pop music nationally and provided new energy to his pan-African stadium-filling adventures. The album also reflected the era in which it emerged. If his predecessor 'Shaka Bundu' arrived triumphantly amid newfound political freedom in South Africa with the end of Apartheid and Nelson Mandela's election, 'Yogo Yogo' was a next level expression for the maturing artist. Composed with Joe Shirimani, who also produced the album, the sound and compositional style echoes the earlier recording but the topical nature of the lyrics became more deliberate, more didactic.
