Staff Benda Bilili(Democratic Republic of Congo)

Despite being handicapped by polio and living rough on the streets of Kinshasa, Staff Benda
Bilili’s singers, guitarists and percussionists have become a global sensation.  The pulse
of their Congolese rumba echoes the sounds of Havana, Kingston and Harlem, and their
energetic live performances are nothing short of joyous and inspirational.
