London date at the Barbican for this year's sensational band form DR Congo, Staff Benda Bilili. Mesmerising rumba-rooted grooves and vibrant vocal from agroup of paraplegic street musicians from Kinshasa who's music is topped off my the youngest member's creativity on a "home made lute". Fantastic album, Tres Tres Fort this is a must not miss gig.
To promote the launch of their new online shop, subscribers to the Crammed Discs newsletter can download free mp3's from a 13-track compilation.GondwanaSound: other content and links
