Biographie de l'auteur

Hugo Daems was exposed to Congolese culture from a very early age. His parents went to the Belgian Congo in 1921, shortly after WWI. His father was the harbor master of Matatdi and helped establish MANU-CONGO, (later called OTRACO), a railroad system between Matadi and Kinshasa. Some of the young natives hired by his parents grew up and found employment on passenger ships commuting between Matadi and Antwerp. They visited his parents in Antwerp regularly and soon Hugo learned to speak Kikongo, one of the principal languages in Congo
