Ambiance Congo for Sunday April 26, 2009

Short program this time around....only an hour! WRIR is non-profit community radio that depends upon support from listeners. This edition was broadcast during the spring fundraiser and the time slot was shared with The Other Black Music which airs in this Sunday time slot every other week on WRIR.
I only got in seven songs, but I hope that you'll enjoy them enough to consider going to http://www.wrir.org/ and making a donation on line in support of Ambiance Congo!
Here are a few covers from albums played this week.
