Breaking Rocks by Joe Trapido
Based on fieldwork in Kinshasa and Paris, Breaking Rocks examines patronage payments within Congolese popular music.

“Built upon a stunningly rich ethnography, Breaking Rocks elaborates on the political entanglement of the music industry spanning across the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Congolese diasporaA witty, fresh account, including stories and case studies rooted in a thorough period of fieldwork, Breaking Rocks is simply a must-read for anyone either professionally or amateurishly inclined to anthropology or musicology.” Kristien Geenen, Ghent University
