about

via RFI MUSIC:

"The album is really hip-hop with a powerful groove, but at the same there’s a strong connection to Brazzaville and Central Africa.

Fredy Massamba:
'Zap Mama taught me a lot. Marie Daulne often says that she is Afro-pean: "I come from somewhere, but this is where I live". That’s really important for me – I was born in the Congo, but I’ve been living in Europe for eleven years. I’ve learned a lot of things, and forgotten some things… I’m multicoloured. I’ve sung in Kikongo, the language of southern Congo, in Swahili and Lingala. There’s a lot of percussion, which comes from my experience with the Tambours de Brazza. Then there are tracks with a Pygmy flavour, and that’s obviously linked to my collaboration with Zap Mama and my entourage; the rumba comes from my childhood… And the hip-hop comes from when I was a teenager because at the end of the eighties I was into popping in Brazzaville, Congo… So this album is me as I am today.'"
