Ambiance Congo: December 18, 2011

Welcome!
So many wonderful requests for older music have come in that I've devoted this last program of the year to classics on vinyl. I don't know that any one of today's selections and requests is actually available on CD, so don't miss out!
Here are a few covers from albums played this time around:

You are invited to download the program, with tracklist, here:
This is a new link as of December 23. The one posted previously has been removed as it contained the wrong tracklist. Thanks to Apurva for letting me know!

Ambiance Congo: December 4, 2011

Welcome to Ambiance Congo!
Thanks to violent winds and torrential rain, electrical power and internet service have been unavailable to me for a few days. All has been restored now so here is the post for last week's program.
The show this time starts off with a track from Reddy Amisi's LIKELEMBA but is otherwise is all older music. Your requests add to the quality of the selections and I want to thank everyone who contributed.
I'd also like to thank moos at Global Grooves for his rip of the Bella-Bella track.
Local feedback for the program was very good and I'd love to hear from you as well.
Here are some album covers.
The program is available for download here:
