Ambiance Congo: August 14, 2011

WELCOME!

Welcome to Ambiance Congo, your English language Congolese music program.

I usually have a mix of older and newer songs for you and this time is no exception.

There are a couple of songs dedicated to the late Madilu Bialu on this (near) anniversary of his passing, a few of your requests and a song by Koffi Olomide in honor of his birthday.

Here are some album covers. Please note that, as I try to to play any song more than once unless YOU request it, I try not to post any album cover more than once, so your favorite may have been posted already...seek and maybe ye shall find! If not, let me know and I'll see that it gets put up here.

For the next two weeks, please find your copy of the program here:

Ambiance Congo for July 31, 2011

Welcome!
I was pleased to have Paul Mwema sitting in with me for this edition of Ambiance Congo.
Paul has been living here in the USA for over a decade and is a local listener and supporter of the program. He helps out today with some commentary on the lyrics and titles of a few songs and was kind enough to add his requests to yours for what I hope you'll find to be a very good show.
There's only one album played today that I have not featured before, and that is this Grand Zaiko album.

So only one image today!
You can find all of the others by browsing around here on the blog for them.
You are invited to download a copy of the program here:
