The concert was quite a spectacle and the music is presented in that way. I'm reluctant to spin the disc again, but happy to refer you to this link, where you can see for yourself and hear that great guitar.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeIQ3_5Y1V4DJ Daudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265562873315908794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803886784532886800.post-34332567125838829422011-11-30T12:56:19.486-05:002011-11-30T12:56:19.486-05:00Many thanks for the Wazekwa recommendations.

While it seems that Que Demande Le Peuple? is quite easy to get hold of, I cannot locate any reference to the LIVE A L’OLYMPIA BRUNO COQUATRIX DVD/CD anywhere. Maybe you could play a bit more of that one on a future show? Great sounding guitar on it.

The old fashion for ladies bleaching their skin has spread to men it seems or else some people are having their photo retouched. Not just Defao. Serge Mabiala looks very different on his album cover from last year than he does in the videos on the DVD. I cannot say which is the case with Defao.<br />He has put out two very good albums this year though there is some repitition.DJ Daudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265562873315908794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803886784532886800.post-24263791537607644572011-11-23T23:39:31.225-05:002011-11-23T23:39:31.225-05:00Thank you David for this episode of AC.

The guy's work is always very good and his live concerts are wonderful. I recommend that DVD/CD I played on Sunday. If you're digging into the archives, search for tracks from Que Demande Le Peuple? Really great double disc that was on the top of the charts for an unheard of 6 months.DJ Daudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265562873315908794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803886784532886800.post-66560792140585831252011-11-23T13:56:33.543-05:002011-11-23T13:56:33.543-05:00Albums I'd like to hear more from?

I'm pretty sure that's a list that has no end.<br />The Felix Wazekwa track was superb and Doudou Copa's Cd Evolution sounds like it could be very good. <br />I just ordered a copy of Roga Roga's Cd Socellerie on the strength of hearing it here. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.<br />While I wait for it to arrive I'm going back into those archives...Dave, Liverpool, UKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803886784532886800.post-59738900011099695262011-11-23T03:44:42.276-05:002011-11-23T03:44:42.276-05:00Dave I thank you for listening and for your positi...Dave I thank you for listening and for your positive response to the selection of songs.

Quite appropriate that it should be a show of (mostly) music from the present day. <br />It's encouraging to know that good music is still being recorded by Congolese musicians, it's just a shame it's not more widely available. Maybe that's the appeal.<br /> Love the scratchy old vinyl stuff but good to hear some new names to investigate.<br />Thumbs up. Cheers.Dave, Liverpool, UKnoreply@blogger.com
