Ambiance Congo for December 5, 2010

Welcome!
There has been so very much talk about new music lately and so very much of that talk has been negative!
Today I present all new music for your listening pleasure. And I do mean for your listening PLEASURE! I have found a lot to enjoy in today's Congolese music and I hope that you have also.

No?
Well, try a few of these songs on your ears, and on your hips my friends!
There is some good variety in this program's set list. Not everything is exactly to my personal taste, but almost everything is something I've spun -and will probably continue to spin- at home or in my car again and again and again.
Please do let me know your thoughts.
Here are a few of the covers from CDs played this time.


I should add that I have mistakenly referred to Baby and Vibration Schengen as Baby and Generation Schengen. Apologies to them for that slip up.
This is a wonderful band and I'd like to thank my friends at Vibes D'Afrique forum for letting me know about them!
This download link for today's program is good for two weeks.
