Ambiance Congo: May 13, 2018

Welcome!
Today is Mother's Day on Ambiance Congo so I have played songs that feature women singers in the first hour. We have songs by some of the most famous of Congolese women vocalists like M'Bila Bel and M'Pongo Love as well as some songs by other women who have worked with some of my favorite male artists such as Tabu Ley, Youlou Mabiala, Bozi Boziana and Le Karmapa.
The second hour takes us elsewhere with more wonderful music.
Enjoy!

Ambiance Congo: April 29, 2018

Welcome!
I have had a few requests for music from the 60s and 70s, so that is where we start today. Here are a few songs that I particularly like, and they are songs not heard on this program before. They were chosen to compliment each other, so I hope that you enjoy that aspect of the selection.

Part B has a few new songs from 2012 to today, including a request from Minu for Ebony. I'm not convinced that I chose the right song from Defao, though! He has a new single that sounds like it was inspired by l'Afrisa International of Tabu Ley which would have been a much better choice. We'll hear it next time!

Thanks to everyone who makes a request. I always do my best to get your songs or groups played.
