My epic journey to Afrobeat superstardom

Tresor Riziki's path to superstardom in South Africa started with a journey across half of the African continent. He is a multi-platinum selling artist with his own brand of Afrobeat pop music. But he鈥檚 not from South Africa, and he had a pretty tough journey getting there. Tresor started life in Goma, in the Eastern DRC. It鈥檚 a small city that鈥檚 experienced quite a dramatic recent history. There have been decades of armed conflict there, and even a volcanic eruption, but Tresor remembers a childhood in the early 90's, before the worst of the turmoil.
