WELCOME!
Today in celebration of RDC 60 years of Independence, we have mostly all songs from the 1960s, the first decade of Independence.
We start with a couple of songs from the late 1950s and end with some from the early 1970s.
Happy Independence Day!
As those who follow this program know, I try to place four album covers on the page with each new post. Sometimes I cannot do that because I've posted the cover before. You can search for album covers if you choose to do so. Just type the ban or artist name into the search block.
Please note that the cover of AFRICAN RETRO VOL. 4 does not reflect the music on the LP.
Pathe Marconi used to place similar images on their compilations,
possibly to attract western listeners to "exotica", but we don't see that kind of thing anymore thank goodness!
