Staff Benda Bilili at Womex 2009
Womex has selected the celebrated group Staff Benda Bilili, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, as this year’s winners of the prestigious Artist Award. Their debut album, Tres Tres Fort was released earlier this year by Crammed Discs and achieved huge critical success across Europe. The band, who describe themselves as the ‘true journalists of Kinshasa’, use their songs to document how the city’s street kids, orphans, prostitutes and war refugees are ‘the true heroes of this country’. Living on the street themselves, this group treat their own hardships and disabilities as the portal to revealing truths about life anywhere in songs which kick with originality and channel the full force of one of Africa’s musical powerhouses.

Vraiment c'est vrai, c'est trčs trčs fort! Ces types-lŕ ont fait fort, dans ce pays moisi par tant de malheurs, d'oů ils viennent, qui ils sont et ce qu'ils font ça parle trop! Quand on sait comment sont considérés les handicapés en temps normaux (si on peu dire), ils ont gravi la montagne et réinventé la musique populaire. Symboles tout puissant de l'Afrique, que leur route soit couroné de succčs et de dignité!
