Zap Mama is the music act of Belgian artist Marie Daulne. Zap Mama sings polyphonic and Afro-Pop music; a harmonic music with a mixture of infused African vocal techniques, Urban, Hip-Hop with emphasis on voice. The worldwide success of Zap Mama, and an ensemble of female polyphonic singers, inspired influences in American Hip Hop, Nu-Soul, Jazz and elements of Pop. The evolving musical compositions created a diverse band of singers and musicians for Zap Mama.
"The voice is an instrument itself," says Daulne. "It's the original instrument. The primary instrument. The most soulful instrument, the human voice. Singing songs in French and English with African World Music Roots."
Sources of Zap Mama's music
Sources of Zap Mama's music include Daulne's roots in the Democratic Republic of Congo, her upbringing in Belgium, and her return to Africa to rediscover her musical roots.
Democratic Republic of Congo
Marie Daulne, the daughter of a Belgian father and a Congolese mother, was born in the East Zaire City of Isiro. Marie had only been born a few days when her father was killed by the Simba Rebels, during the Congo crisis. The Crisis resulted in the deaths of some 100,000 people. It led to the assassination of Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, as well as a traumatic setback to the United Nations, following the death of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld in a plane crash as he sought to mediate. Marie's mother, with brother and sisters had to survive hiding in the forest. Several months later, they were airlifted out to Isiro in an emergency evacuation by Belgian paratroopers. Marie and her family were flown to Belgium, because her father was a Belgian citizen. .

Zap Mama - TIMIDITY
LYRICS:
TIMIDITY
What can I do
I can’t find the words
I’m trying, trying, I wait
Nothing happens
I scream inside myself instead
I can’t express myself with my hands
I can’t trust them
Nobody cares
I’ve tried I keep trying
Nobody cares
I open myself timidity
And without the words
I feel
—
I’m feeling
And if you open yourself and show me what you’re feeling
Then we can talk without words
You don’t always need words to speak
Just let your feelings go express
I’ll read them as if they were words
You can express yourself without words.

LYRICS:
Say what?
Do what?
Why?
Words get said then disappear
For having said what and why
Humans are born then disappear
Say what?
Do what?
Why?
I hush to savor
To listen to the instant
And let the Buma ritual calm our pain
Say what?
Do what?
Why?
