The Very Best is the collaboration between Malawian-born, London-based singer Esau Mwamwaya and the British DJ duo Radioclit. The eclectic-sounding group was tapped to be this year’s buzz band at the CMJ Music Festival -- until travel issues scuttled Mwamwaya’s visit. Now, the group joins us to talk about a critically lauded second album, Warm Heart of Africa, which features guest appearances from rapper M.I.A. and Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend.
