Ambiance Congo for Sunday February 3, 2008

WELCOME!
Listen at www.wrir.org

This edition, I'll be presenting Part Two of the November 11 program called "Solos by soloists" (Find Part One in the Ambiance Congo Archives at left).
I'll spin for you artist-named recordings by Congolese guitarists. Last time we heard from Docteur Nico, Master Mwana Congo, Dino Vangu and many others.
This time we'll hear from more guitarists with songs selected from their solo recordings.
Here's a song from Johnny Bokelo's album above just to whet your appetite.

Dino Vangu's INZA BAYOKA

Guitarist Dino Vangu recorded a number of albums under his own name. On at least three of these albums, he has presented versions of the songs INZA BAYOKA (or INZA) and KANSEBU (or KANSEBOU).
You can listen to one version of INZA, featuring the vocals of Michel Boyibanda, on the Africolombia blog -see my links- and another one here:
