Shiko Mawatu grew up in a family where music came
naturally. His father was an accomplished accordion player and his two brothers Bunda
Mawatu and Rocky Lisasu sang for the Simba Band in Kinshasa. With a musical upbringing,
Shiko Mawatu experienced many musical influences in his native city of Kinshasa, Congo.

Vévé Verckys Kiamuangana, the famous
Congolese producer & musician who had discovered Shiko as a young talent.

Kimbanda Nzila is also on a humanitarian work in the DRC
contributing to the DMF by donating a portion of its proceeds to help keep the
Biamba Marie Mutombo hospital in Kinshasa going. Indeed, it will take even more
donated funds to keep the project online.
The DMF has acquired the song "Afrique" by Shiko Mawatu as its official song on its website..
