Out now: new single Staff Benda Bilili
Monday, 07 May 2012 10:25
In 2009, Staff Benda Bilili, the Congolese group made up of paraplegic street musicians, ignited their conquest of the world with their album, "Très Très Fort". The international media were charmed by their enchanting music, their relentless energy and uplifting optimism. Staff Benda Bilili have become a symbol of triumph over adversity, a true source of inspiration for the increasingly large audiences which fill up their concerts across Europe, Australia and Japan.
Released in movie theatres and on the television, the feature film dedicated to the story of the group has achieved a high level of success, and the album "Très Très Fort" has won many awards.
Staff Benda Bilili have just finished recording their new album, which will be released September of 2012. Titled "Bouger le Monde" ("Make the World Shake"), the album bears witness to the spectacular evolution of the band, and its intent to keep making... the world shake!
The first single from the disc, "Osali Mabe", came out the beginning of this May. Listen to it on Soundcloud.
Rather listen to it live? May 18th they are playing at De Oosterpoort in Groningen and May 19th at Helemaal Melkweg in Amsterdam.

"De Warsaw Village Band is een uniek gezelschap dat de Poolse cultuur over de grenzen heen tilt, op unieke wijze, gespeeld door jonge (hippe) mensen. Door hun dynamische muzikale aanpak verdwijnt het stoffige imago, dat folkmuziek soms met zich mee draagt en maakt plaats voor bewondering en kippenvel!" Lees hier de hele recensie.
Second edition Helemaal Melkweg coming up!
