Title

Rap Music in French, English and Lingala from Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) on a double A-side record with double A-side flip art work.

Lunatic Beudo features the young rappers Zébédé, Bouba and G BOY from Kinshasa. These kids are surviving life on the streets. Yet, they all make fun of U.S. American gangsta sh*t hip-hop because they know when it comes to real street life nobody will tell them nothing.

How can anger, clarity of social analysis, the experience of pressure and pain as well as mystery be reconciled? In the flow of Congolese rapper Orakle Ngoy. Which she uses for a feminist critique of the (capitalist) system, being one of the very few female rap stars from Kinshasa. Decolonized beats based on exotica samples were provided for Orakle by German producer Martin Georgi, a son of English-Sinhalese immigrants.
