The new 2009 album 'The Warm Heart of Africa' from the trio calling themselves The Very Best has been getting a lot of attention recently in the UK. The unusual story of Malawi-born Esau Myamwaya meeting one of the two Radioclit DJs in a junk shop in London has been in the headlines this week. Their collaboration led to a very well-received mixtape in 2008 and their recent debut album. Esau sings in Chichewa, the national language of Malawi. This particular song features Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend.
