Description
Staff Benda Bilili are like nothing you have ever seen or heard before. Their name translates literally to “put forward what is hidden.” Led by disabled street musicians from the Congo, and backed by a younger, all acoustic rhythm section, they make music of astonishing power and beauty.
“Heart-tugging melodies ride on sweetly ragged vocal harmonies; the rhythm section and guitar work sway between rumba, soul, funk and blues. Extraordinary story, extraordinary music. (Independent — Tim Cummings)
“Staff Benda Bilili are a really, really good band” (Sunday Times)
£12, £14, £16 + bkg.
