The Ruby Suns have always had a little tropicalia and afro-beat in them, but now they’re really letting it shine. Here they are covering the Beatles’ “Birthday” with Malawi’s Esau Mwamwaya on vocals. It sounds like the Lion King got a real shot in the arm.

I have a feeling GvB will soon be posting a Ruby Suns cover of El Guincho, so be on the lookout for that!
