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 [cite web | title = Tananas (South Africa) | work = South African Music | publisher = music.org.za | url =http://www.music.org.za/Artist.asp?ID=153 | accessdate = 2007-06-07 ] , and have shared a stage with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Suzanne Vega and Youssou N'dour.
