Welcome to everyone else! Thank you for listening.
This July 24, I have put together some music from the Wenge family of bands and musicians.
Zaiko Langa-Langa launched a new youth sound in the 70s, leading to the creation of new super groups like Langa-Langa Stars, Viva la Musica and Victoria Eleison and the rise of a number of super stars from those groups.
Wenge Musica bands created a new youth sound in the 80s and again launched a whole new generation born of or influenced by them.
This program most likely does not contain a lot of old favorites for those listeners who came of age with the ndombolo sound, but it does give a chance to listen to a few and it does contain a few newer recordings and some songs by individuals who stared off in one or another of the Wenge bands and took their music in a personal direction.
I hope you will enjoy and I hope you will leave a note with any requests for another edition.
THE FILES HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, David, did you get a copy of Seskain Molenga's CD "Empire Bakuba Legende" when it came out a year or so ago? I just heard it and it's superb - Elba Top, Theo Blaise, Caen Madoka et al on some beautiful recordings. If you like Desouza's CD you'll love it. Only problem is, it's rarer than hen's teeth and weirdly expensive on download.
As always, thanks for putting in the effort to bring us some great tunes.

Dave, I bought the pricey mp3 version. Was not too impressed with the second "CD", but there are some very good songs on the first. Do you have the credits? Of course, I do not.
