Thanks for listening to Ambiance Congo.
This time, I have started with some Negro Succes, one of my favorite bands that I just don't play enough, move into some Mando Negro Kwala-Kwa and then some Afro International at the request of my friend Zim. We are treated by our friend Moos to a wonderful and rare song by the singer Maisso with Youlou Mabiala and then a killer track by Josky Kiambukuta.
After this, we move to Viva-inspired music by Strervos-Niarcos and then...MORE!
Enjoy!

Splendid show as always - the Maisso track really was a treat. And who knew it even existed.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you were going to do a Prince Youlou "special" a couple of years back? I actually can't think of anything he's done that I don't like, so a show dedicated to him pretty much guarantees two of the best hours of the year so far.
Did you see that Jamaitha Inanga has a new release?;

Featuring Theo Blaise and the ubiquitous Caen Madoka, it sounds good to me albeit in a retro-kind-of-style. Worth a listen maybe.
Re Caen Madoka; did you get or hear any of those Faya Tess CDs (Vol 1 through 5) that came out recently? I don't think you played any of them (and I only heard a couple of them), but Mr Madoka plays some fine guitar on them. He's working harder than ever these days - good on him.
Hi Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks as always for your comments and suggestions.
The Maisso track comes from an album posted by Moos on Globalgroovers. Being in Europe, that guy has access to music that I'd never get to hear or otherwise share on Ambiance Congo.
I should do a Youlou Mabiala special tribute while he is still with us. I t would be difficult to spin previously unplayed songs, though, as I do play a lot of his music.
I haven't listened to any of the Faya Tess compilations. They are basically new versions of Tabu Ley songs, aren't they?
When it comes to Prince Youlou I think we can handle some second-spinning of discs.
ReplyDeleteYes, a couple of the Faya Tess CDs are Tabu Ley songs and the other three are "Classiques" of Madilu, Bantous, Simaro and the gang.
I think we all dream of rooting through some LPs in a second-hand shop and stumbling across some of the stuff that Moos seems to find. Maybe one day.
