This program is is a presentation of songs from albums by Congolese saxophonists or from singles, LPs and CDs by bands that feature the sax with some wonderful and sometimes unique riffs. This is, of course, a program that could easily be continued or extended. Only the surface has been scratched!
Thanks for your requests, especially for the songs by Jean-Serge Essous and by Negro Succes with Moro Maurice Beya. The songs by Sax Matalanza, Empompo Loway, OK Jazz, Le Peuple and Le Canon du Zaire have some of my favorite extended saxophone / guitar interplay.
