Bouger Le Monde!

Description

A triumph over all adversity: music full of energy and optimism. Did the musicians of Staff Benda Bilili ever think that their group would become one of the most important African bands? Hardly. In the end, other challenges were at the forefront for them: Staff Benda Bilili is made up of paraplegic and polio-affected musicians who once lived as homeless street musicians in the center of Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. But with the release of Très très fort (2009), everything begins to change: their first magically grooving album, inspired by old blues, reggae and funk, becomes a symbol of resilience... Bouger le Monde was also back in Kinshasa with largely improvised songs. Instruments recorded. The album brings together 11 rock and loud songs that are still characterized by a likeable individuality, but nevertheless reveal sophisticated stylistic developments. This is probably due in particular to the fact that three new members joined Staff Benda Bilili and brought a breath of fresh air to the hypnotic sound of the group.
