Ambiance Congo: December 1, 2013

November 30 marked the passing of the last of the great musicians of le Belle Epoque. First Nico, then Franco and now Rochereau. The era ended a long time ago, but the music is still very much alive, just as sweet, just as compelling and just as dear to the millions whose lives these artists have enriched.
In celebration of Tabu Ley, the late Seigneur Tabu Ley Rochereau, I present this edititon of Ambiance Congo.

You are invited to download a copy of the broadcast here, complete with tracklist:
