Winner of the most far-fetched and inspiring band of the day goes to- Staff Benda Bilili. Straight out of Congo, Staff Benda Bilili is composed of a group of poor paraplegic street performers riding custom made tricycles who happened to take an 18 year old homeless kid who plays a homemade one string "electric lute" formed from a tin can under their wing. What separates Bilili from any other 60 Minutes-esque African glory story? Their music absolutely rules. Check out Tres Tres Fort, which recently climbed to #1 in Europes World Music Charts, as well as a video giving you a peek into their one of a kind life below:
