«In other words, fragments and other recycled sludge that is to say, making the new old.»

“I carry on walking through my native country’s ruins. Who will lend me the words I need to describe the smoke from oil lamps that light up the night, the smell of beer and urine at the Matongé bars in Kinshasa, its glamorous prostitutes and the stupor of its Rumba singers, run-down taxis and the crowds of pedestrians in the morning fog? The commotion inside my head… The rust in my blood… And if they do not give it a name… And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, I wish you goodnight. My name is Kabako, I am Kabako, still Kabako, forever Kabako. It’s me, Kabako. I had a story I wanted to tell you. But I’ve forgotten it. I’m sorry.”
