Ambiance Congo for August 15, 2010

Welcome!
I hope that you'll enjoy this edition of Ambiance Congo.Please feel free to comment on the program or the songs or to make a request for a future show.
This week, I was reminded that it has been three years since the passing of Madilu Bialu, three years that we miss the voice of the great Madilu System.
So we start out with three songs by with Madilu. One from his often requested Pouvoir album, his most famous duet with Franco and one from his first band, Bakuba Mayopi.
After that I offer a number of classics and songs from some of the new CDs out there.

To give you an idea of what you will hear, here are a few album covers from this edition of Ambiance Congo.
You are invited to download a copy of the program here:

  2. Wonderful program!

    David, can you recommend any particular site that is good for getting the lyrics of some of the songs you play?

    Thanks,
    Lorraine

  3. I wish I could help you with that Lorraine. Lingala lyrics are very hard to come by. For the most part, I have had to rely on friends who either speak Lingala or whose parents do.
