Calling the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) the "rape capital of the world," top UN official Margot Wallstrom has recently pointed the finger at a vivid problem facing DRC: over the past 14 years, through some of the country's most violent recent history, at least 200000 cases of sexual violence have been recorded. From these rapes, children were born that are still stigmatised and outcast in Congolese society.Duration: 01:39

Born in the early 1950s and influenced by the folk traditions at its source, modern Congolese music has played a key role in daily life in the Congo, brightening up people's everyday routine and voicing their aspirations. Brought together on stage for the first time, the Congo's most celebrated stars, including Papa Wemba, Werrason, Mbilia Bel, and Ferre Gola, will perform - with large ensembles, including brilliant brass - the songs that have made the greatest impact on Congolese society down the years. This great anniversary show, featuring several generations of stars, will be given its sole European performance in Brussels on 16 July.

In 2003, Internews produced two videos to raise awareness of the plight of Congolese children accused of witchcraft. The first video was a documentary, "Enfant Dit Sorcier" ("Child Accused of Being a Witch"). This is the second video, co-funded by USAID and Search for Common Ground, that uses pop music to spread a similar message to Congolese society. It features the musicians of L'Orchestre Lachytoura, most of whom were once street children, some accused of sorcery. They perform their own song "Enfant Dit Sorcier." Internews created and inserted a narrative drama to help illustrate the story of an innocent boy accused and discarded by his family. The song is in Lingala. Subtitles are in French.
