Release Notes:
Back in 2007, a chance meeting at a second-hand furniture store led the
Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya to team up with the European DJ/producer
duo Radioclit to form the unlikely group the Very Best. Last year, they
dropped Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit Are the Very Best, a leftfield
surprise of a mixtape that joyously smashed borders and crashed
year-end lists, including ours.
Radioclit drew all sorts of lines between various strands of
African-influenced pop music and actual African music, backing Mwamwaya
with everything from Vampire Weekend's "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" to
Michael Jackson's theme from Free Willy. Mwamwaya, singing in four
different languages, made everything flow together effortlessly,
bringing a dizzy lightness to every track that came his way.
Thankfully, that mixtape didn't mark the end of Mwamwaya's
collaboration with Radioclit. This fall, the Very Best will return when
Green Owl releases Warm Heart of Africa, the group's official debut LP.
M.I.A. and Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig will make guest
appearances, on the tracks "Rain Dance" and "Warm Heart of Africa",
respectively.

fest to have a fucking good party! Isn't that nice? Awww. Cute. No
other group would do that eh, or think about announcing it. If you
want to meet the SiRE crew, then nevermind. We won't know whether
you're the BPIzorz that stole our mucka, if you were we'd have to

sexy friends.
A few of us will also be mooching on over to the Reading festival,

have phun, we know we bloody will.
