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.
