Ambiance Congo: September 16, 2018

WELCOME!
I have another mix with a lot of varied music today.
There's a song from Les Bantous de la Capitale veteran Passy Ngongo Mermans along with some other tunes from Brazzville groups Extra Musica, Trio Ce.Pa.Kos and Mando Negro Kwala-Kwa.
A song from the first Terre Sacree album featuring Roga Roga and Doudou Copa also goes toward that side of the river.
We also hear from an album that is supposed to feature Dr. Nico on guitar along with l'Orchestre Bana Mambo, but the guitar work sounds a lot more like that of Diblo Dibala than that of Dr. Nico.
That's not a bad thing, but I thought that the album label might be wrong. So I did some research and found that Bana Mambo was a band that once worked with  Soki Vangu, Kanda Bongo Man and Diblo Dibala. Listening again to this album, I hear Diblo called out.
Also for you, thanks to friend in Europe for this rare treat, we have a cut from the album De Palenque a Matonge of Dizzy Mandjekou with Malage de Lugendo and the Colombian combo Ale Kuma.
Enjoy!

Ambiance Congo: September 2, 2018

WELCOME!

Welcome to another edition of Ambiance Congo. If you are returning or a new listener, I am happy that you have chosen to listen to two hours of Congolese music.
Every two weeks, I try to play examples of diverse Congolese music, but I tend to play the music that I like and that is the great older music, especially music recorded in the 1970s and 1980s. Today is no exception. Check out the track from Franco's Ekaba Kaba!
I do try to play new music as well and many times I bring it along, but I always seem to end up playing mostly the Congolese music of the past. In my humble opinion, this is some of the greatest music ever recorded.
If you would like to hear more new music, just send me a comment with a request and I'll be happy to spin that for you.
This time I have two requests, one for a song by the great Theo Blaise Kounkou and another by King Kester Emeneya. The Emeneya song is from a session recorded in Japan in which some of the original versions of the songs were made with Papa Wemba's band on the Don Dass label, but this one is the pure heaven of  the King's Victoria Eleison.
 We also have a song from Tabu Ley's first album recorded in France, a killer song with Josky Kiambukuta in Orchestre Continental and a great track by Verckys and l'Orchestre Veve.
I had a moment of love for the guitar work of Master Mwana Congo, one with  Theo Blaise and one with Didi Rapheal Louvila that I hope that you'll enjoy.
