About
Marie Daulne (born 20 October 1964), also known as Zap Mama, is a Belgian singer-songwriter, performer, composer, lyricist, activist, video artist, and ethnic-vocal therapist born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Daulne is the founder and lead singer of the music group Zap Mama, whose second album, Adventures in Afropea 1, was the best-selling world music album in 1993.
Daulne specializes in polyphonic, harmonic music with a mixture of African instruments, R&B, and hip-hop, and emphasizes voice in her music. She has said her mission is to be a bridge between the European and the African and bring the two cultures together with her music. Daulne calls her music "Afro-European".
As a solo artist, her remix of James Crawford's 1953 song "Iko-iko" was featured in the film Mission: Impossible 2.
