Cinémoi Spotlight: Benda Bilili

Directors Renaud Barret and Florent de la Tullaye join Cinémoi to speak about the[ir new awe-inspiring film: a tale of a paraplegic band from the streets of Kinshasa, whose highly original brand of music is becoming increasingly well-known across the globe.

The film brilliantly captures the energy of the band’s sound and provides an excellent insight into how they work musically, including some of the remarkable instruments they use.

However, the film is much more than a simple music documentary; it’s about an ambitious group of talented musicians whose dreams slowly come true.
