Watch: The Very Best – Kondaine ft. Seye

Featuring some animal sacrifice...

The Very Best have delivered the video for their new Seye bolstered track ‘Kondaine’.

When analysing non-Western cultures, it’s important not to tailor them towards our own morals and tastes. So when it comes to the new video from The Very Best, it’s vital not to object too strongly towards animal sacrifice.

Still a widely spread practise in Africa, the ceremony features in the new video for ‘Kondaine’. A Seye bolstered piece of dance music, The Very Best travelled out to Northern Kenya to shoot the new clip.

Here’s a quick statement. “Love and respect to our Turkana friends of Epiding village in northern Kenya — particularly Matet & MC Maji Moto. Sacrifice and ceremony are traditional practices of the Turkana tribe used for events such as marriage, death and in our case, the welcoming of visitors”.

“Drinking Kondaine — the magic potion — is not a traditional Turkana practice. Therefore, no members of The Very Best were actually turned into goats”.
