Description
Summary:	"The ghettos of Kinshasa - the devastated capital of a country politically and economically adrift - are filled with many gifted, yet impoverished musicians. Their outstanding talent, humour and vital energy are their only means of survival. Amongst them, Jupiter Bokondji, the charismatic leader of the band "kwess International, acts as our narrator and guide. This local Don Quixote introduces us to the Kinshasa music scene - teenage rappers, handicapped bluesmen, street children, griots and guitar craftsmen - and describes his 20-year struggle to bring his music out of the ghetto"--Container.
