Saw this great documentary about the making of the first Staff Benda Bilili album.Most of the band members are paraplegic due to childhood polio. The shelter for the disabledburned down during the first attempt at recording them and that delayed things for overa year. God bless the French dudes who kept on until it was done.
One amazing thing to see is the transformation of a little street kid, playing a one string homemadeinstrument, that the band took under it's wing.
Watch them go from practicing on the grounds at the Kinshasa zoo, to touring Europe and Japan.
