A collective of producers lead by Damon Albarn recently visited the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to produce a new album for Oxfam. T-E-E-D (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs), Dan The Automator, Jneiro Jarel, Richard Russell, Actress, Marc Antoine, Alwest, Rodaidh McDonald and Kwes all made the trip with the plan - to make an album in 7 days.
Wracked by years of conflict, the DRC is home to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and proceeds from the album will go to helping Oxfam's work, helping thousands of the DRC's poorest people.
His name’s LOVE for goodness sake ,how could we not like him? Here he is rappping into his phone. He was our security along with a cat called Golbar, we named them ‘Love and The Gun’ because the were kinda like a Congolese ‘Crockett and Tubbs’ for us . It felt most times like the Congo has as many musicians as China’s got Table Tennis players ; by that i mean everybody’s musical ,everybody plays; no i mean everybody.-Remi
