Ambiance Congo: August 25, 2013

WELCOME!
We have been enjoying a lot of older music of late on Ambiance Congo, so today I'm spinning mostly 21st Century tunes. The Zaiko track, TSHIBAWU, from the 2001 maxi-single FEELING is one of those songs I can play again and again on any given day! We've got new songs from Ferre Gola and Fally Ipupa as well and more. I've added a couple of older songs from LPs at the end...just in case! I hope you'll enjoy the program.
Your comments and requests for future shows are always welcome.

Ambiance Congo: August 11, 2013

EDITIONS VEVE
Welcome to another edition of Ambiance Congo. Last time, I presented to you a whole two hour program devoted to 45 rpm singles, compilations of singles on LP and CD and even a couple of modern maxi-singles. I did not include ANY singles on the VEVE label and that was an omission I hope to atone for this time around!
Today, we have all songs, not always singles but all songs, written, performed, recorded, pressed or produced by Kiamuangana Mateta, a.k.a. Verckys , on his Editions VEVE International label.
When I think of Editions VEVE, the first song which comes into my head is TOKOSENGA NA NZAMBE by Orchestre Les Grands Maquisards, sung by Ntesa Dalienst. It's a true classic masterpiece and a signature piece of its era, and Verckys produced it and countless others of similar quality, danceability and beauty.
As a saxophonist, Verckys had a style all his own that was emulated by others. Just listen to the great sax on MAYALA LELE from  Michel Boyibanda's EBUKA SYSTEM's LP and you'll hear what I mean! If you know for sure who played guitar on that album, please let me know.
It was difficult to find a number of VEVE album covers I have not posted on this blog before. The music presented on that label is so consistently good that I've played songs from a lot of the records here today before.
Comments and requests are always welcome!

Ambiance Congo: July 28, 2013

Welcome!
The program today is all singles. We've got mostly 7" singles and songs from compilations on vinyl and on CD, but there are even a couple of tracks from modern maxi-singles as well. I hope that you'll enjoy the music! A number of tracks are from older 12" compilations on the African and Pathe Marconi labels. Some are from the outstanding Serie Single Fetish Original CDs compiled by Ngoyarto.
Next time, listen for songs originally produced by Verckys on the great Editions VeVe International label.
