Ambiance Congo: May 24, 2009

This edition is almost all music from the golden 1970s and 1980s. There are a couple of newer songs added that fit within the mode, music from artists who made their marks back then and have been making great music up to the present: Youlou Mabiala, Dona Mobeti and the artists of OK International.
I hope that you will enjoy listening to this program as much as I enjoyed presenting it!

The copies of the program presented here are for your convenience and enjoyment.
WRIR is all volunteer community radio and, on occasion, we have a few technical difficulties.
I missed recording the first few minutes of this edition, so I have included the full version of the first song, by Vox Africa, in the file.

Ambiance Congo for Sunday May 10, 2009

This edition, we heard yet another mix of classic albums and new CDs. Our second song this afternoon was penned by Shiko Mawatu, who also played guitar on the track. Shiko has suffered a stroke and is recovering. This song, with the Afro International of Mimi Ley, is dedicated to Shiko - please join me in my wishes for his rapid and full recovery- and is appropriate to Mother's Day as well.


We also heard a couple of secular songs by Carlyto and Makolin, artists whose gospel songs were featured on this blog back on Easter Sunday.
Some nice requests rounded out the program.

Here a few album covers:
