ESAU MWAMWAYA AND RADIOCLIT ARE THE VERY BEST

by marc amigone

Speaking in superlatives is not always smart, but sometimes it’s the safest way to be succinct.  Maybe that was the line of thinking at Green Owl Records when they titled their mixtape, “Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit are The Very Best.” [Get the full mixtape]

Artist: Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit
Song: Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

…
Honestly, they’re not the very best, but they’re pretty damn good.  Esau Mwamwaya is a singer from Malawi (that’s in Africa) who’s making waves for his remix of MIA’s “Paper Planes” internationally among the musically informed.  This mixtape showcases his versatility as he sings over remixes of everything from Vampire Weekend’s “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” to Architecture In Helsinki’s “Heart It Races”.

For all you indie rockers out there who’ve never listened to any music from the dark continent, now could be an opportunity to broaden your musical perspective.  Download the mixtape for free here.
