Ambiance Congo for January 16, 2011

Welcome!
Again the program features a mix of older and newer music with an emphasis on the classic sounds.
Hopefully you will find a few new discoveries and warm up to your favorites.
I enjoyed hearing again the wonderful snippets of Tabu Ley, ZAO and others in Maika Munan's song as well as the flute in the songs by M'Pongo Love and Ikomo "Djo-Djo" Ingange.
I gotta add this:
There are a good number of songs on this program in which the singer praises other singers. Jpson calls out Madilu, Madilu calls out Shiko Mawatu and others and so on from there.
It was cool I think to add the Vata Mombasa song at the end. COOL song in which we hear Canta Nyboma Mwandido sing at least two distinct parts.
Here a few ablum sleeves.


The tracklist is included with the podcast files here:

Ambiance Congo for January 2, 2011

WELCOME!
Welcome to another year of Ambiance Congo radio programs, coming to you since 2005 from Richmond, Virginia USA on WRIR 97.3 FM.

We start the new year with some great requests - thanks as always for your requests -
along with songs from a few of my favorite albums of 2010 and a number of the classics that everyone loves. I have a couple of nice, rare singles for you in the mix as well.


Your comments and requests are always welcome!


Want to spend some time looking at album covers? It is really enlightening to browse through these pages to see all the different sleeves. No cover is posted twice to my knowledge, as next no song is ever a repeat! It is astounding, even to a guy like me, to hear and to see how much great Congolese music has been recorded.
Here's the link to this edition's download. The link expires in two weeks, but you can find it and many other programs in the Ambiance Congo Audio Archives. You might consider making a donation to Radio4all if you enjoy being able to get these shows at any time.
