Tananas, (pronounced tuh-naa-nuhs) is a South African band formed in 1987. Originally it consisted of Mozambican Gito Baloi (bass and vocals), Ian Herman (drums and percussion) and Steve Newman (acoustic guitar)[1]. First recorded by the independent label Shifty Records[2], Tananas combines jazz, Mozambican salsa, and township jive. They have released eight albums, the last two on the Sony label.

Tananas have built a loyal following in their home country since the late 1980s, and they have performed at WOMAD festivals around the world. They have worked individually or as a band with Paul Simon and Sting[3], and have shared a stage with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Suzanne Vega and Youssou N'dour[4].
