Our Take

The Congolese collective Staff Benda Bilili are not your average band. Formed by a group of disabled street musicians, their latest album "Bouger Le Monde" is a vibrant, energetic blend of reggae, rumba, and Afrobeat that will have you grooving from start to finish.

From the infectious rhythms of "Osali Mabe" to the soul-stirring balladry of "Nzoka", this album is a testament to the power of music to unite, inspire, and ultimately, make you wanna get up and dance. The band's unique instrumentation, featuring everything from homemade guitars to plastic bottles, adds a layer of authenticity and rawness that is rare in today's overproduced music landscape.

Lead vocalist Ricky Likabu's gravelly voice is both raspy and soulful, adding a touch of bluesy grit to the band's sunshine-soaked sound. The lyrics, mostly sung in Lingala, talk about love, struggle, and the power of music to bring people together - themes that resonate across continents and cultures.

Overall, "Bouger Le Monde" is a joyful, uplifting album that will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take on the world. So grab your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and let Staff Benda Bilili move you to your core. They may not be your typical band, but they sure know how to make a lasting impression. Hats off to you, Staff Benda Bilili, for reminding us all that music truly has the power to change the world.
