Audio: The Very Best 'Anzanga' [Mixtape]


We were kinda busy earlier this week— you know, hosting a showcase with these dudes — that we missed out on this solid batch of dance tunes from 'round the globe The Very Best put together for Pomp&Clout. Hear and download this solid Anzanga mixtape, which Johan and Esau describe as:

In england you would probably call this a 'Afrobeats' mix, thats the new term that people use to bunch together all new contemporary African dance music. But at the end of the day its dance music from all over the world. UK to Nigeria. Malawi to Sweden. Germany to Ghana. Portugal to Angola. America to Kenya.

We called the mix Anzanga, because it means 'friends' in Malawi's national language Chichewa, and this is the kind of mix you should listen to with your friends in the park when you're having a few drinks and lighting the BBQ!

We hope you enjoy it!
