Easily the best song I've heard in 2012.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012


What an ear fuck. Seriously the best 6.25 minutes of this here 2012. My trusted sender of all things cool, Celiwe just sent me a link to this Zero 7 song. Firstly, I love every beat that band makes so this was a very welcome surprise. There is no secondly. It's the perfect marriage of Zulu choral or traditional music and Zero 7's cool loungy alternative sound (sorry I don't know what it's called). MaYaN it's cool! The song is aptly called ''Likufanele'' and the lyrics go ''Igama obizwa ngalo likufanele''. I mean really. This means ''The name that they call you by suits you'', which I believe is true for everybody.
