Desde el lanzamiento de su disco debut, The Warm Heart of Africa , allá por el 2009, los chicos de The Very Best han estado cosechando elogios y colaboraciones. Hace algunos meses, Ezra Koenig de Vampire Weekend colaboró con el cantante de la banda, Esau Mwamwaya , para coronar una relación amistosa de hacía rato. Pero, a decir verdad, los africanos comenzaron con la música a través de una mixtape, Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit Are the Very [...]

Albums that missed our Top 60 Albums list , but at least one of our writers loves. Artist: The Very Best Album: Warm Heart of Africa Label: Green Owl Image: http://www.popmatters.com/imag es/blog_art/v/very-best-warm-h eart-africa-cover.jpg Display Width: 200 The Very Best could have been just another dance-pop collaboration, springing off the back of the recent uptick in Google alerts for "African traditional music". With a Fader cover and that pat back-story about the Frenchmen buying a bicycle from the Malawian store owner, things seemed perfectly set up for a familiar internet hype/quick disappointment cycle.

Esua Mwamwaya’s Malawian roots come through strongly on Warm Heart Of Africa , The Very Best’s first album in collaboration with Radioclit after last year's excellent free mixtape. The eclectic blend takes all that is good in African tunes and adds a healthy dose of international influences, from Sanyo keyboard-like basics to intricate acapellas. At moments, it sounds like Malcolm McLaren’s Aria (courtesy of Leo Delibes), while one track, 'Julia' sounds like a reworking of Afroman’s ‘Because I Got High!’. Indeed, many of the melodies have an air of familiarity, giving the album an immediacy, like [...]
If you really don't like the Flaming Lips , you should check out Pitchfork fest's other Sunday night headliner, The Very Best .

They play an exciting mix of songs that sample, cover and collaborate with popular Western artists (like M.I.A ). Dinosaur on the Ark - The Very Best [...]

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 [...]

Ho Ho. The flu is sucking the life out of me and so. Luckily, there's an easy remedy for life-suckage - you put the song in the coconut and mix it all together say DOCK-TAHHH Esau Mwamwaya (a young Malawian singer now living in London) and Radioclit (a two-man European DJ/production/bootybouncer team) not only put together one of the bext mixtapes of the year in 2008, but they made it available for free. T he Very Best mixes fresh original material with jacked (and jacked-up) beats from [...]
Malawian-born, London-based singer Esau Mwamwaya has teamed up with European Radioclit to produce this mixtape, The Very Best, an assortment of original tracks, covers, and remixes, celebrating African music. You can stream/or download the ep, courtesy of GREEN OWL - the tracklist is below. A tip of the hat to Amrit @ Stereogum for the find. Enjoy. Here is the video for Kahphopo to salivate your interest:
Una de las maravillas de la música es que no tiene límites culturales, de idiomas, de sexo, ni nada. Y eso es lo que nos recuerda Esau Mwamwaya & Radioclit en su primer video oficial, con la canción “Kamphopo”. En un registro muy sencillo, de tipo video casero, nos presenta a su familia, sus primos, sus hermanos y sobrinos, regalándonos un paseo por Malawi, su lugar de nacimiento, en un recorrido después de 9 años viviendo en Londres. Como dato, “Kamphopo” es usada como base en la canción Heart it races de [...]
Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit, also known as The Very Best, have made a video for "Kamphopo". I don't know what this song is about, but it's the shit. PigeonsandPlanes
Esau Mawamwaya est né au Malawi, il y a grandi avant d'émigrer à Londres en 99 où il a ouvert un magasin ; et comme il avait pour voisin le producteur Radioclit, il ont sympathisé et commencé à faire de la musique ensemble ; de là est né le projet 'The Very best' qui apparaît aujourd'hui. On peut y trouver au milieu de morceaux plutôt traditionnels des relectures incroyables de Vampire Weekend, Architecture In Helsinky, de Mickael Jackson et de M.I.A,... je veux dire des Clash . Au final un album qui vous fera remuer les fesses du premier [...]
The Very Best (Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit) have released the first video off of their astoundingly good mixtape The Very Best for their single "Kamphopo." Note Mwamwaya's family in the video (in Malawi) that he apparently hasn't seen in nine years. Joy to All. Video Posted by Mark Richardson on Pitchfork
Como una postal, la visualización de una imagen puede ser el portal más evocador, el puente hacia un recuerdo o incluso hasta aquello jamás pensado. Si añadimos música al lote, el resultado será todavía más inesperado, imprevisible, y puede que más encadilador. The Very Best (personados...
Our buddies Radioclit and Esau Mwamwaya (otherwise known and sample-happy three man ethnic dance machine The Very Best) have released the "Official Malawi Pride" video for the first track off of their debut mixtape, Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit are The Very Best (how functional). It's for the song "Kamphopo", which samples "Heart It Races" by Australian indie pop conglomerate Architecture in Helsinki. It goes as a testament to the song's catchiness that we try and sing this song in the shower in the morning. In Chichewa (which Wikipedia tells us is the native language of Malawi). The video [...]
