Ambiance Congo for April 24, 2011

WELCOME!
Easter Sunday brings some gospel songs along with other songs with strong religious overtones. The sad surprise passing of Debs Debaba is also noted. What a shock that was and still is to many of us!
There were a few requests from you as well, including a phone-in for something by Debaba from Choc Stars.
Thanks to those who dontated to WRIR's Spring fund drive. Ambiance Congo will NOT be aired during the fund drive week, but, if YOU enjoy the program, I ask that you consider a making donation in favor of Ambiance Congo at www.wrir.org

Ambiance Congo for April 10, 2011

Welcome! The program today features a surprisingly small number of songs. Only 13, but I hope you will agree that they are all very good. We were fortunate to have a couple of requests from long-time listeners that added to the show. These include a wonderful song from Sam Mangwana & L'African All Stars and two tracks from two different albums featuring singer Gina Efonge. YOUR requests always add flavor and spice, so please keep them coming! We start off with a song from one of Kosmos Moutouari's European albums, but the program proceded in an ad-lib fashion from there with most songs coming from vinyl. Included are a rare songs by Minzoto Wella Wella and Zaiko Langa-Langa a that'll knock your socks off . The program ended up with a very nice song from Roga Roga's new solo CD. Here are some album covers from this edition of Ambiance Congo.
