This is the third time I've heard people refer to the style of some of VWs songs as "African". I have no idea what they're talking about. What songs are examples of this?
It's just another interviewer putting questions towards a band that doesn't know. Vampire Weekend don't know all the facets of African music/Afrobeat. They don't know (are they supposed to?), they said they don't know, yet the interviewer persists, therefore leaving the band members in a crux with having to blag a bunch of sentences that pretentious bullshit critics will latch on to. If only to call them pretentious bullshitting muso's no doubt....
So Ezra is Jewish and Rostam is from the middle east...
that's hot.

I love the way ezra talks. its so slow and calm and vulnerable, like he's exhaling words. They both seem really chill.
