Marie Daulne 〔(Creative Loafing. "Zap Mama's Marie Daulne merges African, African-American sounds" by Jeff Kaliss. April 5, 2005 )〕〔(IMDB. "Marie Daulne" )〕 (born October 20, 1964) is a Belgian singer. Daulne was born in Isiro, Haut-Uele District, Democratic Republic of the Congo to a Belgian who was killed that same year by Simba rebels, and to a local Bantu woman. Daulne and her mother and sisters were airlifted out to Kinshasa in an emergency evacuation by Belgian paratroopers〔 and flown to Belgium because their father had been a Belgian citizen.〔 Daulne was raised in Belgium and as of 2007 calls Brussels home, but lived in New York City for three years starting in 2000. Daulne is the founder and lead singer of the music group Zap Mama whose second album, ''Adventures in Afropea 1,'' "became 1993's best-selling world music album and established Zap Mama as an international concert sensation." With "over six albums and countless concerts, she continues to pay tribute to the family's saviors." Daulne insists that "one tune on each of her reggae-, soul-, funk- and hip-hop-infused albums be a traditional Pygmy song."〔 Daulne says her mission is to be a bridge between the European and the African and bring the two cultures together with her music.〔(Intermix. "Marie Daulne Is Zap Mama." )〕 "What I would like to do is bring sounds from () and bring it to the Western world, because I know that through sound and through beats, that people discover a new culture, a new people, a new world."〔 Daulne specializes in polyphonic, harmonic music with a mixture of heavily infused African instruments, R&B, and Hip-hop and emphasizes voice in all her music.〔 "The voice is an instrument itself," says Daulne.〔 "It's the original instrument. The primary instrument. The most soulful instrument, the human voice."〔 Daulne calls her music afro-European. ==Early life and musical origins== Daulne was born in Isiro, (pronunciation: "ee SEE roh" or () /i 'si ro/) Haut-Uele District, one of the largest cities in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,〔 as the fourth child of a white civil servant,〔 Cyrille Daulne, a Walloon (French-speaking Belgian) and Bernadette Aningi, a Bantu woman from Kisangani, formerly Stanleyville, the third largest city in Congo Kinshasa.〔 When Daulne was only a week old, her father was attacked and killed by Simba rebels, who were opposed to mixed-race relationships.〔 "He did not have a chance to come with us because he was captured," Daulne says.〔 "He said to my mother, 'Escape,' and we escaped into the forest, and the Pygmies hide us while we were waiting to see what happens," says Daulne.〔(Washington Post "A Shimmering 'Supermoon'" by Richard Harrington. November 2, 2007. )〕 "He was a prisoner of the rebels for a while, then they killed him."〔(North Coast Journal. "The Way Home" by Bob Boran. August 30, 2007. )〕 Her mother was arrested by the rebels but was later set free because she spoke their language.〔 Daulne pays tribute to those pygmies who rescued her family in the song "Gati" from ''Supermoon''.〔 "They saved my family and many others during the Congolese rebellion," Daulne says, "and they deserve recognition for that."〔(Pitchfork Media. "Zap Mama Supermoon" by Roque Strew. September 13, 2007 )〕 "My promise to them was I used your song to be known in the world and my goal is to talk about you," Daulne added.〔 After eight months in the interior of the country,〔 Daulne and her mother,brother and sisters were eventually airlifted out to Isiro in an emergency evacuation by Belgian paratroopers〔 and flown to Belgium because their father had been a Belgian citizen.〔 "I think the experience of the political situation is more my mother, who had to survive. I was a baby, and I just was protected by my mother. What I know that I learned from my mother is to be strong and to stay positive in any kind of situation; that's the best weapon to survive. That's what I learned, and this is the main message I pass into my music," says Daulne.〔(Metroactive. "Zap Happy" by Mike Conner. July 30, 2003. )〕 Everything was different when Daulne, her mother, five other sisters, and an aunt arrived in Belgium.〔〔 "When we arrived, it was snowing, and my mother said, 'Look — the country of white people is white!'" says Daulne.〔 Growing up in Belgium was hard for Daulne.〔 "It was hard as a kid, you want to look like everybody else, and there aren’t many black people in Belgium – compared to England, or America or France," says Daulne.〔 "It became easier as I grew older. There were more black role models about – musicians and sports stars. At school I started to see my mixed heritage as a bonus – I could be part of both the African and Belgian communities."〔(there! the Inflight Magazine of Brussels Airlines.
