A music project started by Damon. This is his project from his 5 day voyage to the Congo for the Oxfam foundation. The result is Democratic Republic of Congo Music. African music combined with dubstep, dream pop, and trance. \n
This is why I feel that Damon Albarn is changing the music industry and the definition of being a band.\n
