Ambiance Congo: October 24, 2010

WELCOME!
This time around, I present another mix of newer and older music, another DJ set of music compiled on the spot.I received a request to feature some songs with guitarist Dally Kimoko, so you will get to hear three songs in a row with him: something from Nyboma & Les Kamale, a track from one of his solo albums and one from a relatively recent CD by Code Niawu.
There are also two songs from Papa Wemba, an older one and one from his new CD.
Two other albums played on this edition, by General Defao and Groupe Flash, were from albums from which you have requested to hear more.

These are a few jackets from this edition of Ambiance Congo.


For the next two weeks, you may download a copy of the program here http://rcpt.yousendit.com/975204969/f75dcddf2bc36b0f78036c36d3f80be0
