In recognition of the 20th anniversary of the passing of Franco, the great father of modern Congolese music, this program started out with three songs by OK Jazz, two of them at your request.
We moved on to a few new songs featuring the guitars and/or arrangements of Bopol Mansiamina. and from there featured some of the newest CD/DVD releases.
Here are a few covers from CDs featured.
