The Very Best

Gorilla:  Forgive me as I try my hand at praising a little known music group.  This area is usually trespassed by Lion and Wolf, but even though I am not a tall glass of water with white jeans doesn't mean I don't enjoy listening to new things. 
Now I am not even sure if this group is popular here in the states or not (probably not considering most of the music is in what I believe is Chichewa) but I am going to give praise anyway.  The Very Best is a collaborative effort of Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit which released a mixtape in 2008 and the fruitful album, Warm Heart of Africa, in 2009.  I am just becoming familiar with the music group, but already I am enjoying the blurr of new sounds and beats with lyrics I can't understand.  Even though I don't know what is being sung in most of their songs, The Very Best are able to create energetic, engaging, and fun music that can be enjoyed by all.  Their attributes are colorfully on demonstration in the songs "Kamphopo" and "Warm Heart of Africa". 
I highly encourage you all to give The Very Best a try.  Its always good to take a step outside your circle and see what the world has to offer.

Also, I must give credit to Mr. Daniel J. Corrigan for first introducing me to The Very Best.
