The group Staff Benda Bilili is truly inspirational. They are a group of paraplegic street musicians who live around the streets of Congo. Music has brought them together and kept them from the vile behaviors synonymous with street life. They predominantly play string instruments, but their music is infectious. God has given them a talent which they have embraced. Currently they have been touring around Europe blessing people with their beautiful sounds.

Staff Benda Bilili have found an escape route from the street life and not even physical limitations have prevented them from maximising their talents.
