Staff Benda Bilili Bouger Le Monde CD

2012 release from the acclaimed group of street musicians from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This album contains a collection of 11 superb songs, and benefits from the musical transformations which gradually took place during Staff Benda Bilili's 350+ shows: The band are louder and rock more, their level of musicianship has further risen, and the addition of three new members brings richer textures and added excitement to the arrangements: drummer Montana had joined the band right after the recording of the first album, lead guitarist Amalphi is a new recruit, and young percussionist Randy (who played with the Staff when he was a kid, and later vanished for a couple of years) is back in force.
