The last time we saw The Very Best was through a chainlink fence in an alley in Austin, Texas. Despite putting Esau Mwamwaya on the cover of our magazine a year before, we could not part the sea of bouncers until a friend with veto power got us in. This time, when Mwamwaya and Radioclit played a more proper show at New York's Le Poisson Rouge, we had much better access caught up with them for some talk on "The Warm Heart of Africa" (the song, the album, the sentiment) and snagged live video of their seriously ferocious set.
