Vampire Weekend done by real Africans
Vampire Weekend has been accused of lifting their sound straight from Paul Simon's "Graceland," who himself learned more than a few things from Ladysmith Black Mambazo and friends. So with that, it's interesting to hear Esau Mwamwaya (hailing from Malawi and London, according to their MySpace), cover VW's "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa." It's totally cool.
(French class was long enough ago that I can vaguely make out what the text says on the above link: the take away is that he wants you to imagine you're on vacation while you're listening to this music, it makes it fun.)
They've also got another good track with the ever popular M.I.A.
