Piranha Records & Publishing

Intro

Piranha Records & Publishing


The Piranha may be a small fish, but it makes its presence felt. As an independent label that publishes and releases music, Piranha may not be able to swallow the sharks, yet it can easily bypass them by presenting extraordinary sounds, with a repertoire ranging from traditional to tradi-modern, from classical to hip hop and electro. Recording in spaces not confined to just studios but also on mountains, in deserts or the street, is part of the label’s history as much as, destinations from Maputo to Havana, Cairo to Belgrade, New York to Berlin-Kreuzberg. Produced by Ben Mandelson, Colin Bass, Frank London and others we released over 150 albums to date, with new sounds and artists from the global underground. Some of our main recording artists include Ali Hassan Kuban, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Stella Chiweshe, The Klezmatics […]

The Piranha Publishing catalogue includes more than 1,200 titles from Africa, of Gypsy & Balkan origin, the Jewish world and more: Some of our foremost authors are Boban and Marko Markovic, Boris Kovac, Frank London, Mario Lucio, Maurice El Medioni, Mulatu Astatke, Wazimbo, to name a few.
