About
Makasi wires houses by day and plays sebene in a wedding band by night — ironic for a man whose own power cuts out nightly. He’s political the way real Kinshasa is: through joy, hustle and a guitar, not slogans. ‘Revolutionary’ just means he refuses to stop dancing while the city struggles.
Dancing through the blackout.
[Kinshasa, DRC] Electrician by trade; plays guitar in a wedding band
