| POLIO FROM STAFF BENDA BILILI - 194 sec
enregistrement de la chanson polio par le staff benda bilili au Zoo de Kinshasa en octobre2006, on enntend les grenouilles.
A group of disabled Congolese musicians is threatening to take the United Nations peacekeeping mission to court over a song for last year's elections.
Let's Go and Vote was played repeatedly in the run-up to last year's historic polls on radio and TV stations.
In a country where a third of the population is illiterate and with crumbling infrastructure, the song is credited with boosting turn-out to 70%.
But the eight members of the Staff Benda Bilili band were paid $50 each.
The UN has denied any responsibility for paying royalties.
On the video clip that became a hit, the street musicians appeared in their wheelchairs, dancing the rumba and urging people to "go and vote" for a brighter future in DR Congo.
"It is thanks to our song that people went and voted but Monuc [UN Mission in DR Congo] did not pay us and we are still forced to sleep and beg in the streets. This is slavery," said band leader Nzale Makembo.
'Fraud'
Most of the band are polio victims, who sleep rough next to the barbed wire fence which surrounds the Monuc headquarters in Kinshasa's dirty city centre.
The musicians were not offered contracts, but the credits on the video clip says it was produced by Monuc and distributed by the UN Development Programme (UNDP).
It is for Monuc to come and negotiate
Nzale Makembo
Despite their lack of financial resources, the musicians have engaged a lawyer who has lodged a formal complaint with Monuc's litigation department and is threatening to sue Monuc.
"The musicians deserve their royalties and Monuc has failed to pay them. This is piracy and fraud," said their lawyer Ali Ahoka Omeonga.
DR Congo has a long established music tradition and the law says that authors have an "inalienable right" to their copyright. However, UNDP spokesman Francois Charlier acknowledged that no royalties were paid to the musicians.
Monuc information chief Mario Zamorano confirmed the involvement of his organisation but said it only brought "technical support" and had therefore no responsibility to pay royalties.
In a letter to the musicians' lawyer, Danier Bart of Monuc's litigation department said the complaint could not be looked into, since the video clip was "not a sufficient piece of evidence" that the musicians had been employed by Monuc.
Negotiations
Monuc was closely involved in organising last year's poll - the first free election in more than 40 years.
It has an annual budget of more than $1bn.
The musicians are claiming $100,000 from Monuc as compensation for their copyright.
"Of course, this might seem a lot of money, but it is for Monuc to come and negotiate," said Mr Makembo.
DR Congo is slowly emerging from decades of conflict and mismanagement and the judiciary is still largely seen as dysfunctional.
Mr Makembo says he hopes "a legitimate organisation" like Monuc will eventually recognise the musicians' rights and comply to the rule of law.
But so far, Monuc, seen as one of DR Congo's most powerful organisations, has refused to open negotiations with the polio victims of Staff Benda Bilili.

| PRINCE EYANGO / I BENDA BY NDEDI EYANGO - 323 sec
I BENDA (HATRED)
While he was still in his mother's womb
A child was hated
On the day of his birth
He was hated
Ndedi Eyango was born with hatred
I was born with hatred.
Eyango was born with hatred
I am that child that was born with hatred
Those who envy me say
That I am too lucky
They think that people love me a lot
They think that I have a lot of money
There is nothing else
I was just born for them to hate me
But I call for support from Ngalomoa
I am calling my ancestors to watch over my back
Even if I have money
I don't deserve to be hated
Even if I am loved
I don't deserve to be hated
Even if I am successful
I don't deserve to be hated
I ask God for protection
No matter how much good I do
I still reap hatred
Those who have me say
That I am too handsome
They say that I drive fancy cars
They say that I live in a beautiful home
The truth is that I was born to be hated
We cannot let those who hate me ruin a good thing
Let's enjoy ourselves my friends
Take it easy
Life is like that
