The Very Best - Warm Heart of Africa ft Vampire Weekend & Theophilus London (fingertrouble remix)

I love this song (incidentally it features Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend) one of my faves from 2009 but it didn't have that boom - or any boom at all. None of the mixes had a really deep beat or dance production, so I took Theophilus London's mix and added some beatsa nd stuff, so here's my first ever solo remix as fingertrouble.

Cheers to The Very Best and Theophilus London for a great mix, I hope you don't mind me messing with it (and how do you credit a remix of a remix anyhoos?!?)

Also the original song doesn't have an official video, so here's a video I've made and shot in Africa (Ethiopia and South Africa) a few weeks ago. Also includes some video of the bonkers Sir Victor Uwaifo performing Guitar Boy - where The Very Best got that great guitar sample from!

Hope you like it - it's part of a longer video podcast called Take Me Back To Africa http://www.mutantpop.net/radioclash/archives/2009/11/29/rc-183/ which includes the original Victor Uwaifo track and video remixed, and more music from Africa.
