![Zap Mama : Marie Daulne (pronounced /ˈduːlɪn/)[3][4] was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to a Belgian who was killed that same year by Simba rebels, and to a local Bantu woman. The local Pygmies saved Daulne from also being murdered.
Daulne and her mother and sisters were airlifted out to Kinshasa in an emergency evacuation by Belgian paratroopers[5] and flown to Belgium because their father had been a Belgian citizen.[1] Daulne was raised in Belgium and as of 2007 calls Brussels home, but lived in New York City for three years starting in 2000.
Daulne is the founder and lead singer of the music group Zap Mama whose second album, Adventures in Afropea 1, "became 1993's best-selling world music album and established Zap Mama as an international concert sensation." With "over six albums and countless concerts, she continues to pay tribute to the family's saviors." Daulne insists that "one tune on each of her reggae-, soul-, funk- and hip-hop-infused albums be a traditional Pygmy song."[5]
Daulne says her mission is to be a bridge between the European and the African and bring the two cultures together with her music.[1] "What I would like to do is bring sounds from [Africa] and bring it to the Western world, because I know that through sound and through beats, that people discover a new culture, a new people, a new world."[6] Daulne specializes in polyphonic, harmonic music with a mixture of heavily infused African instruments, R&B, and Hip-hop and emphasizes voice in all her music.[1] "The voice is an instrument itself," says Daulne.[1] "It's the original instrument. The primary instrument. The most soulful instrument, the human voice."[2] Daulne calls her music afro-European.](/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=8638586&Size=Tiny&AlbumKey=9V2ir&rand=5449 "Zap Mama : Marie Daulne (pronounced /ˈduːlɪn/)[3][4] was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to a Belgian who was killed that same year by Simba rebels, and to a local Bantu woman.
