Ambiance Congo for March 28, 2010

I hope you'll agree that there is always something good on Ambiance Congo, but straight up shows like this one where your requests add to a mix of older and newer music are always my favorites.
No themes this time, so let's allow the music to do the talking.

Here are a few album covers from this afternoon's program.



For the next two weeks, you are invited to download a copy of the program here:

Ambiance Congo for March 14, 2010

Welcome to Ambiance Congo!

Thanks for joining me for two hours of Congolese music. Despite a lot of talk to the contrary, there has been a long and wonderful history of songs led by women in Lingala music. There aren't a lot of women on the scene today, but there is some amazing talent amongst the few. On this program you'll get to hear many women sing both lead and chorus.
Two hours is not enough time to cover the subject, so I'll have to revisit this some day. Your suggestions are welcome as comments here.

Posted below are a few album covers from today's program. If you'd like to see any other sleeve, please just let me know and I'll add it to this page.



For the next two weeks, you are invited to download a copy of the show here:

Ambiance Congo for February 28, 2010

Lots of contemporary music for you this time. Almost everything on the track list is new or was released in the last 10 years. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how many of the tracks presented here refer back to previous generations and don't ignore the guitar or sebene.
I had a good time putting this on. I hope that you enjoy it at least as much!

For the next two weeks, you may download a copy of the program here:
