Ambiance Congo: December 23, 2018

WELCOME!
This last show of 2018 has some real gems for you. Included is another great song from KaRmapa's CALIGULA two CD set and new music from Les Bantous de la Capitale and from two 2018 releases by veterans of Les Bantous, Edo Nganga and Lambert Kabako.
About Les Bantous: this is one of the longest established Congolese bands, established in 1959 and they are still great making music today!
From OK Jazz, we hear another Edo Nganga composition from 1957. From Docteur Nico we have a great track recorded with l'African Jazz of Grand Kalle and from Les Bantous we hear a new version of an African Jazz song.
I hope that you will enjoy the program.

Ambiance Congo: December 9, 2018

WELCOME!
Sunday was cold and the snow was coming down hard. I wanted to warm everybody up with some hot Congolese music...and I hope that this program did the job. It kept me dancing!
Thanks to everyone who called in or wrote to me on Facebook to request songs or to comment!
Special thanks to Moos for the Viva Mandolina LP. That one is is a killer...and one I have never heard before.
Also, we have yet another good song from Blaise Bula's RENDIKITA set, I can always play something by Syran M'Benza (this one with Sam Mangwana on vocals) and check out the new song from Desouza Santu! I have that new album on repeat play at my house.
What would you like to hear next time around?

Ambiance Congo: November 11, 2018

Welcome!
All live sets today. I've been preparing for a program of Congolese live music videos that I'll be presenting in February in conjunction with an art exhibition. Some of the songs heard here today are from DVDs that I've chosen, some are from LPs and CDs. I love concert videos and the music and I wish that the performances could be presented here, but they cannot, so we have just the music.
Most of these songs are from the 1990s through today. If you'd like to have another program with classics from bands like TP OK Jazz, Afrisa International or Trio Madjesi, please let me know and I'll do another show.
Thanks to Moos for the opportunity to present the great song by Lita Bembo & Stukas.

Ambiance Congo: October 28, 2018

Welcome!
I have been playing a lot of older music of late, so in today's first set, I have played some newer music that I enjoy for your listening pleasure.
Balise Bula's RENDIKITA discs are still in my top favorites for the year, so I've added an excellent song from that set.
At the recommendation of a listener in the UK, I got a copy of the latest Dago Son (Dagoson) disc and a song is included here.
The second set takes us back to some great older LPs. I have to thank Alice for her call during the program, encouraging me to keep these great songs coming...which I did! Thanks also to the anonymous caller who wanted to express his great pleasure with the song from the LP by Jean Sylvain Goma (with sax by Verckys). I've played songs from most of these albums before and the album sleeve images can be found by searching these pages.

Ambiance Congo: September 30, 2018

WELCOME!
I have been recently introduced to the fine albums of the Planet Ilunga label, and what fine albums they are indeed! The newest, a collection of great singles by master guitarist Docteur Nico, features many rare songs that I have never heard before and I am pleased to be able to let you sample one of those today. Like their previous release of O.K. Jazz singles, the album contains a lot of deep research and fascinating information in the package. I'll try to obtain more Planet Ilunga albums for the future! I hope that you will support them as I have by buying their albums, playing them often at home and recognizing them for the treasures that they are!
I've also found available a number of newly reissued singles of music from the 1960s and 1970s by Samba Mascott and N'goma Jazz, two of which you'll hear today.
And speaking of singles, we also have two wonderful newer singles, one by Felix Wazekwa with Lutumba Simaro.
Just a note about one more song: the one from Bouhlos Loupino and Kester Emeneya features guitarist Souza Vangu of Youlou Mabiala's Kamikaze Loningisa band, something that I didn't mention during program.
Enjoy!
