Staff Benda Bilili

One of the great global success stories of the past three years, Congolese rumba-funk warriors Staff Benda Bilili have become an unstoppable force. The music of this group of street musicians from Kinshasa is one of raw power, fragile delicacy and astonishing beauty. A remarkable full-length documentary about Staff Benda Bilili which triumphed at the Cannes Film Festival, and is taking Europe by storm, is soon to be aired by the National Geographic channel.
