Ambiance Congo: February 26, 2012

WELCOME!
Today we go back to the older music that so many listeners and friends love so very much.
Almost every song this time is from LP or 45, only 3 songs from CD...two reissues and a recent from Diany Bakela song at the very end.
We've got Choc Stars, Mando Negro Kwala-Kwa, Micky-Micky, OK Jazz and so much more.
Thanks for your requests! Again, you have added depth and enjoyment to the program.
Special thanks to Shad for his request of a song from Nzaya Nzayadio's KIMONA MESA album. I've had the song on constant replay for a couple of days now. Great sebene from guitarist S.O.S. In a word...WOW!
Thanks for listening. I look forward to your comments and requests for future programs.
As always, for your enjoyment, here are four covers from recordings to be heard on this edition of Ambiance Congo.

Ambiance Congo: February 12, 2012

Welcome!
Happy Saint Valentine's day!
I hope you'll find some music to love on today's program.
Let's start with a few romantic songs, some new, some not so new, some somewhere in between!
Later we get some tid-bits from the new schools of Wenge.
But mostly we'll hear some new music for the rest of the show...with the exception of a little known masterwork from the late Nino Malapet.
Tha music says it all. I don't have to talk....
Play it loud. Have a good time!
Here are a few album covers.
You may download the program here (for two weeks):
