Benda Bilili! (2010)

Ricky has a dream: to make Staff Benda Bilili the best band in Congo Kinshasa. Roger, a street child, more than ever wants to join these stars of the ghetto, who get around in customized tricycles. Together, they must avoid the pitfalls of the street, stay united and find the force to hope in music. For six years, from the first rehearsals to their triumph in international festivals, BENDA BILILI! ("beyond appearances") is the story of this dream come reality.

A man with nothing more than an empty tin and a piece of wire lifts himself and his family out of abject poverty. Infectious sprit, infectious beat.

I'd have been prepared to sacrifice some of this energy and colour for a little more organising context, even if that's exactly the structure the band and their music so delight in rejecting (or simply cannot find in an environment as disorganised as their own). The filmmaking gets conventional during the final, triumphant departure to Europe - asserting, whether intentionally or not, that SBB's achievements can only be truly validated with the applause of Caucasians. The best stretches of "Benda Bilili!" show life rolling on regardless: as with the cut from Ricky on tour in snowy Oslo to his young protege Roger, practising his guitar licks back in Kinshasa - an altogether subtler, and more affecting, benchmark of the extent to which this music has come to make a difference.

Fantastic documentary and music video for enthusiasts of Congolese music.

The place looks terrifyingly cold. The music, and the musicians' big-hearted charm, keep us warm.

Any time spent with Ricky is time well spent.
