The Very Best

It takes cojones to name your band "The Very Best". You're going out on a limb because, after all, there's a very, very good chance that you are, unfortunately, not the very best. After all there's only one very best, right? That very best might actually be Esau Mwamwaya who, as it turns out, sings in a band named "The Very Best".

Maybe you're skeptical? You may ask yourself, "just who is this Malawian with the sweet name? How dare he claim to be the very best? I've never even heard of him -- what proof do I have that he's the very best? How do I know even what he sounds like?" Aha. I'm glad you asked. You see, you'll find all the proof that you need at this link. It's kind of like the the golden ticket to Esau Mwamwaya's chocolate factory. Click on the link – here it is again – and you'll be able to download their entire album. Oh yes, you read that right, whole album, not just one song. For free. Go ahead, try it. You'll like it. Check out track three, Tengazako, the very best reconstruction of Paper Planes you'll ever hear. Or the very best version Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa with Vampire Weekend playing very best backup band. Not only that, you'll get Michael Jackson. Specifically, his orcaphilic anthem from Free Willy, "Will You Be There". How often do you get that? That's what I thought.
