Vampire Weekend: Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa
Here is a song I heard late one evening on Radio Three. Vampire Weekend are a clean-cut American indie band with a fondness for African rhythms and an African guitar sound. According to Wikipedia their music has variously been described as "Upper West Side Soweto" and "trust fund frat rock".
You may say there is nothing here that Paul Simon was not doing more than 20 years ago, but it is hard to dislike this track. You can also watch the band's official video of the song.
