mp3: ESAU MWAMWAYA Chalo (Demo)
head now to the mad decent blog for a stunning rework of m.i.a.‘s paper planes from malawi’s esau mwamwaya – diplo‘s clash-sampling rythym and those zeitgeist gunshots, all re-wrapped with esau’s tropical african vocal. esau played in various bands in malawi before moving to london at the turn of the century and has been working with radioclit on a full album release. download a lo-res version of ‘chalo’ above, or watch the truly bizarre clip, recorded live for “tim & barry tv” in esau’s second-hand furniture store in east london.
