By doing so we can criss cross the stories we have been related and get closer to the bottom of them. For the Congo Funk project we met people with various backgrounds, who lived the heydays of Kinshasa, as music lovers, journalists or producers. All of them vividly shared their knowledge around a beer or two. Listening to these musical encyclopedias was an experience we will never forget. The experience of sharing its knowledge about past events is also a nice way to get to remember cherished moments. This feeling made the meetings even more emotional and got us to strongly believe in the process of the making of Congo Funk. In order of appearance in the video.
