The Very Best are a new age fusion of electronic pop and African
rhythms. A collaboration between Malawian born lead singer Esau
Mwamwaya and European producers Radio Clit, The Very Best guarantee and
demand head nodding and hip swaying action in their debut album “The
Warm Heart of Africa.” The trio recently performed at Lake Of Stars
Music festival 2009. The album boasts of tracks such as Kada Manja,
Kamphopo, Nsokoto, Ntende Uli and the impressive collaboration with
M.I.A Rain dance. Influenced by kwaito, hip hop, indie rock, kwasa
kwasa and afro and western pop, The Very Best’s music can be described
as the globalization of pop. Esau’s cross cultural approach should be
commended on this album for he laces his songs with his local Chichewa
lingua, Tumbuka, Yao, French and Spanish. By far this debut is
magnificently the very best out there!
