Like a drunkard, night has fallen on Kinshasa. On the paved esplanade adjoining Mzée Kabila market, in the uncertain outskirts of the capital where ten million Congolese live in close proximity, Six Bolites pulls on his starry cloth mask and climbs onto the hood of a war-torn van. To the sound of local musicians perched on top of an old banger painted in the national colours, bunches of kids and passersby from the suburbs of Massina, Ngili or Matete join the procession and chant his name together with those of the other wrestlers who will confront each other once again this evening.
La nuit vient de tomber comme une ivrogne sur Kinshasa. Sur l’esplanade goudronnée attenante au marché de Mzée Kabila, à l’incertaine périphérie de la capitale où s’entassent dix millions de Congolais, Six Bolites enfile son masque de tissu étoilé et grimpe sur le capot d’un van qui a sans doute connu la dernière guerre. Au son des fanfaristes perchés sur le toit d’une bagnole repeinte aux couleurs nationales, des grappes d’enfants et de badauds venus des citées de Massina, Ngili ou Matete se mêlent au défilé en scandant son nom et celui des catcheurs qui ce soir, une fois encore, vont s’affronter sur le ring.
