Today's edition starts off with a wonderful track by Les Bantous de la Capitale -obviously one of my very favorite groups - from one of their later albums. I mostly played music from the 80s and early 90s after that, digging through the crate to follow one good song with another and another. I hope you'll agree!
In the second part, we have a lot of LPs, many from Congo Brazzaville including a Sacodis label LP by Michel Moutouari and a rollicking guitar song by Petit Poisson on the Editions Tse Tse label...who's logo includes a drawing of the deadly fly!
No requests today? That's OK. Just place one with a comment here or go to the Ambiance Congo Requests link.

Congolese music is an overflowing cup of joy and I am amazed to find so much of new music in this playlist. Thank you for sharing! Apurva from Pune, India.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy it, Apurva! Thanks for posting.
DeleteSome fine selections David, but you certainly saved the best for last - Petit Poisson and Mose Fan Fan. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteVirtually the same crew that played on Petit Poisson's splendid LP played on the just-as-splendid "Bana Congo" LP, presumably recorded at the same time. It doesn't look like you've played anything off that one for a while (Blimey, it was 2007!!!!), so could now be the time to locate it in the vinyl vault and give it another spin? Go on, it's got Mwana Congo on it. And everyone likes Mwana Congo, don't they?
Cheers.
OK Dave. I'll pull that Bana Congo LP out again. I try not to play anything twice except by request. Why? Because people always ask how I can present so many programs of Congolese music without it getting repetitive. Little do they know the sheer volume of great music, and I certainly don't have everything!

Hello Dj Daudi. I wish you a wonderful day, I write in order to congratulates on your excellent work in WRIR station. I love the program Ambiance Congo, I feel a strong connection with these rhythms and can´t die without hearing a beautiful song called "Elle me Rend Fou - Philo Kola" I wonder if you could give me infinite pleasure to hear again that beautiful song.
ReplyDeleteThanks from Cali - Colombia
Edwin, I will play the song for you. Gracias a la repuesta.
