Butter Team Weekend Beats Vol. 28

First person to name all of these languages correctly will receive a nifty book light* so that you may continue your worldly academic pursuits well after the sun goes down. If you live in NYC and these songs make you want to take off your pants, please join us tomorrow.


El Guincho - Palmitos Park (from Alegranza!)


The Ruby Suns - Tane Mahuta (from Sea Lion)


Esau Mwamwaya - Kamphopo (courtesy of Mad Decent)


Bola Johnson & His Easy Life Top Beats - Ezuku Buzo (from Lagos Jump)



*for real - assuming my Snuggie arrives in the mail next week. If not they are going to get an epic ass chewing, ordered that thing like a month ago. Actual book light niftiness may vary. Also note that if you enter but fail to properly identify all languages correctly, you'll have a choice of either watching the Microsoft Songsmith commercial or the beamz Music Performance System commercial in its entirety (face-melting air solo at 1:19). DO NOT WATCH BOTH OF THEM BACK TO BACK.
