Ambiance Congo: June 17, 2012

Welcome!
The program starts off today with a correction. Last time I was asked by Dr. Frank to play Ndombe Opetum's NAYEBI NDENGE BAKOLELA NGAI. I had only the digital download of the CD with me on which all the songs are misidentified. I did not notice my error in playing another great song from the CD until too late, so today we start off with the correct song! And what a song!
After that , you'll get to hear some wonderful songs from Black Bazar and two more great new CDs.
We aslo have a number of requetss filled today, though I did not get to all of them...apologies if I missed yours. It'll be on the list soon I promise.
Many thanks to Dr. Frank for his contribution today, as well as to Mr. T and Mboka Mosika blog.

You are welcome to listen to Ambiance Congo for June 3, 2012.
This program comes to you every other week from an all volunteer community radio staion in Richmond, Virginia in the USA. You are invited to listen live at www.wrir.org  every other Sunday afternoon from 3:00-5:00 PM eastern time USA.

or you can look on the left side of this page for the Ambiance Congo Audio Archives link and get it there even after the link above has expired.

Today's program celebrates the life, voice and accomplishments of the great songer and song writer "Pepe" Ndome Opetum. I think you'll find that the compositions are consitently superior and that the vocals are, well...incredible.

World Service blog has provided a nice biography of Ndombe Opetum's career here:
