Elders and cadets Rey reproduced now -- Mikiliste economies -- Love and money -- Charismatic fetishism -- Conclusion.Based on fieldwork in Kinshasa and Paris, "Breaking Rocks" examines patronage payments within Congolese popular music, where a love song dedication can cost 6,000 dollars and a simple name check can trade for 500 or 600 dollars. Tracing this system of prestige through networks of musicians and patrons - who include gangsters based in Europe, kleptocratic politicians in Congo, and lawless diamond dealers in northern Angola - this book offers insights into ideologies of power and value in central Africa's troubled post-colonial political economy, as well as a glimpse into the economic flows that make up the hidden side of the globalization.Dislocations ;Volume 19.Popular musicEconomic aspectsCongo (Democratic Republic)Popular musicSocial aspectsCongo (Democratic Republic)Music patronageCongo (Democratic Republic)Congolese (Democratic Republic)EuropeSocial conditionsangola.central africa.congo kinshasa.congo.congolese music.congolese popular music.democratic republic of the congo.diamond dealers.dr congo.drc.economics.europe.fieldwork.france.francophone country.gangsters.globalization.ideology.kinshasa.love song.music.musicians.name check.paris.patronage payments.patronage.patrons.performing arts.political economy.politicians.politics.post colonial africa.postcolonialism.power.prestige.song dedications.the droc.value.zaire.Popular musicEconomic aspectsPopular musicSocial aspectsMusic patronageCongolese (Democratic Republic)Social conditions.781.63096751Trapido Joe1708843MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828742703321Breaking rocks4098120UNINA
