Petolas

Release of the album on 5 january 2023 

Many of you have asked about a new album by one of the most famous singers of modern Esperanto. Here's the good news: It’s finally ready! Twelve songs await the listeners in this brand new work in a familiar reggae-rap style – but this time South American sounds are added to the mix. Jonny M – Petolas is the title of the album and its production already started immediately after the previous album Kreaktiva, continued through the coronavirus pandemic and is now ready on time for the new year 2024!

This time, in addition to many texts on various topics, personal difficulties and a lot of irony, there’s also collaboration with Tim Gallego in Petolas. In addition to Jonny M singing about the importance of the sun for your vitamin D levels in the body, love also has a prominent place on the album. Propa plaĉo, as another example, is a song that has been known for a long time and is sung along to in live concerts.

So to conclude, the third official album of the Esperanto-language reggae singer is a mix of familiar and new styles and definitely a must for true fans of Jonny M!
