This time I wanted to add a tribute to the great Dindo Yogo, but I had no idea I'd get so far into his groove. I was not really prepped to do a "best of Dindo Yogo" program, so I did miss playing some favorite songs from some favorite albums. If you'd like to hear more, please do let me know.
But.. we started off with an extraordinary song from an extraordinary new CD compilation.
The 0riginal 1955-56 recordings of Franco... in his teens, friends. Highly recommended CD!!!
Check out this guitar song at age what? 17?
And went from there.
Here are a few album covers from this edition of Ambiance Congo.
This link is good for two weeks only, but the program will be available afterwards, too.
