African music has been influenced a great deal over the past year becoming a new fad or sorts. It's refreshing to hear African rooted music instead. I'll be frank, other types of musical styles are difficult to like at first but when you have an opportunity to check out an album for free , you take that opportunity to try something new. How else could it hurt? I'll admit I'm reviewing this album due to a Pitchfork Review , but I did want to check it out for myself especially when they are giving the [...]

Le monde politique et des médias est encore sous le choc et n'a pas tardé à réagir vivement à la condamnation de Gérard Schivardi par le tribunal administratif de Montpellier. "Un des plus grand scandale financier et électoral de ces dernières années... La sanction aurait du être encore plus exemplaire" s'étonne Balkany . "On n'a que ce que l'on mérite !" pour Bernard Tapie, "j'ai honte pour tous les gens honnêtes qui se nomment Schivardi" En effet , l'ancien candidat à la présidentielle, Gérard Schivardi , a été [...]

This video from The Very Best boys is just what we needed to as a pick me up after the party we played last night together with Jamtech Foundation (they seriously slaughtered it, they'll be doing it big in 2009). "Esau Mwamwaya went back to Lelongwe, Malawi in October 2008 for the first time in 9 years. I came with him to play at the Lake Of Stars festival and to shoot this video and film his homecoming in general. We had a crazy respons from local press, radio and tv. we [...]

As promised, the good folks at Green Owl Records sent me two 73 singles - one from The Very Best and one from The So So Glos. The Very Best topped my 'best of 2008' list and the 73 is the first tactile item I've received from them as their 'album' was technically a mix/mash [...]
This song is about 2 weeks old. Radioclit is a European production team and Esau Mwamwaya is a Malawian-born singer. Really great music, it's a mix African music and everything! This song is off their most recent FREE mixtape. The Very Best (Esau Mwamwaya & Radioclit) - Dinosaur On The Ark
The Very Best - "Kamphopo" It's that age-old tale: African-born drummer moves to London, opens second-hand furniture store, meets record producer, and the two begin making some damn-fun music together. OK, so perhaps it's not an age-old tale, but it is the story of Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit, also known as "They Very Best". The Very Best's recently released, freely available, mixtape , Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit are The Very Best , is as difficult to describe as it is to get out of your head. A few tracks sample [...]
Ok...so thanks again Pitchy. You brought this unique mixtape that I otherwise would never have found to my attention. Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit are The Very Best is an vibrant collaboration between Malawi native Esau Mwamwaya and London Producer Radioclit. It's quite enjoyable, and the Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa remix makes me actually enjoy the song (it actually sounds right this time.) Here's a taste: > The Very Best - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa > The Very Best - Dinosaur On the [...]
So not surprisingly, everyone loves that Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit are The Very Best mixtape we keep talking about (which predictably ended up in our top 20 records of '08 ). And yes, I know they're giving it away for free , but wouldn't you like to have a physical 7" , with packaging that was "produced with wind power, made with 100% Post Consumer paper, water based printing and packaged in corn plastic"? Because green record label Green Owl has just released such a 7" for " Kamphopo "/" Kada [...]
sharing the sharing The story of how I came to love and embrace the music of The Very Best, my number one pick for album of the year, continues via an email message this morning from a band/label representative I presume: "hi pampelmoose, based on your post on ESAU MWAMWAYA AND RADIOCLIT ARE THE VERY BEST a few [...]
Here we are at the end of another year, in fact almost the end of a new decade, and the musicians of the world continue to turn out amazing work. The CD industry continues to slump and digital sales are not filling the gap, yet amazingly I am able to play on average 26 new [...]
Yeah, Desmond and the Tutus totally had me at their name. Really, though, "Kiss You On The Cheek" is one of those utopian jams, and we should all be hearing it blaring out of each other's car windows in LA traffic for a good minute. The band's debut LP, Tuckshop, is now (finally) available on iTunes, and is a quirky, post-pop gem, and I can already see the "Free Hugs"-esque video for this song in my head. All of the great summer jams are coming out now from the lower hemisphere, and between this band, [...]
