THE VERY BEST are a shining light of multi-culturalism. Esau Mwamwaya was born in Malawi, East Africa. He grew up in the capital, Lilongwe, where he played drums in various bands such as Masaka Band. He was a good friend of the legendary Evison Matafale and they played together for several years before he was killed in Malawi police custody in 2003. In 1999 Esau moved to England and until recently run a second-hand furniture store in East London. Esau's shop happened to be on the same street as Radioclit's old studio, and after Etienne Tron bought a bike from Esau he invited him to one of their house warming parties, where Esau met the other half of Radioclit, Johan Karlberg.

The three soon began to collaborate musically, combining Radioclit's vast production experience and self-described "ghettopop" style - having produced and remixed tracks for the likes of M.I.A., Lily Allen, Justin Timberlake, Santigold, Britney Spears, TV On The Radio etc - with Mwamwaya's emotive vocal approach and knowledge of indigenous African music such as Kwaito, Konduro and Marabi.. "Warm Heart of Africa" embodies a without-borders approach to music-making and is one of the most joyous releases of 2009.
