Whether you are a new listener or an old friend returning, welcome to this radio program of Congolese music. A mix for you today of old and new, classic and innovative. We start with a song by the great Bana OK followed by a song, featuring a couple of the same singers, from a decade or two earlier by Franco & le TP OK Jazz.
I had an idea of where to go form there when I came to the station, but that changed after the third song and it became totally free form fun. I hope that you will enjoy, send you comments and requests.

Fine show David - some real gems. That Gode Lofombo track was a thunderous floor-shaker if ever I heard one. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course no show is really complete without a shout-out for the Wende-meister. Cheers.
Thanks Dave! Yeah. Gode's old disc is quite good.
ReplyDeleteListening to the show now and the lineup is wonderful. Many thanks. Apurva from Pune, India.
