A collective of producers lead by Damon Albarn recently visited the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to produce a new album for Oxfam.

‘Kinshasa One Two’ was recorded in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo over 5 days this past July.  The CD will be released tomorrow.

DRC Music set out to make an album with contemporary Congolese musicians and worked with more than 50 local performers including Jupiter and the Okwess International, Bokatola System and Nelly Liyemge. DRC Music is comprised of producers: T-E-E-D (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs), Dan The Automator, Jneiro Jarel, Richard Russell, Actress, Marc Antoine, Alwest, Remi Kabaka, Rodaidh McDonald and Kwes, with album artwork by Aitor Throup and Hardy Blechman.

The proceeds from the album will go to helping Oxfam’s work, helping thousands of the DRC’s poorest people.
