Global 3000 # Dreaming of Success - how a street band is conquering the world # 23.11.2009

Staff Benda Bilili's music style is Congolese rumba with a hint of funk and soul. Their songs tell stories of everyday life in a city that has an estimated 40,000 street children, many of whom are former child soldiers. The band's name Staff Benda Bilili roughly translates as "bring forth the invisible".
