About this item

An inspiring, exciting collaboration between ten innovative and recognized producers (including Damon Albarn), and a host of Congolese musicians - all raising money for Oxfam.

DRC Music is a collective of producers that recorded an album in five days with Congolese musicians in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, during July 2011. DRC Music is Damon Albarn, Dan The Automator, Jneiro Jarel, Kwes, Remi Kabaka, Richard Russell, Rodaidh McDonald, TEED (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs), Marc Antoine and Alwest. All profits from this record go back to Oxfam’s projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The album ranges from upbeat celebratory anthems to atmospheric brooding soundscapes, a unique union of Congolese musicianship and the cutting-edge techniques of some of the most renowned producers in the world.
