Ambiance Congo: December 22, 2019

WELCOME!

This is the last post for 2019. It has been a good year in which a number of new friends have requested some of their favorite songs. I thank them for this as your requests many times add a diversity of songs to the program that I may or may not have thought to include. I would also like to thank Moos of Global Groovers for making some rare recordings available over the past year for me to share and for us to enjoy!
Today, the first hour is devoted to some songs from new releases and new reissues that I have been listening to.

Ambiance Congo: November 10, 2019

WELCOME!
Welcome to another Ambiance Congo program offering a variety of styles from different eras.
Thanks to Georges and to Anastasio for your requests!
I love playing Congolese recordings made or published in places other than the two Congos, France and Belgium. These help to illustrate just how popular Congolese music is and has been world wide. Today we have Japanese release of music by Bopol Mansiamina & Canta Nyboma Mwandido as well as an a German release of music by Marcus Mavouka.
Enjoy the program!

WELCOME!
Thanks for listening!
Today we start with some new and more recent music, then we have a few songs in memory of the great Franco Luambo Makiadi in recognition of the 30 years since his passing.
Note that we had some trouble with our equipment in the first half hour or so.
My apologies for that. Issues are being addressed!
I also played the wrong song for our friend Anastasio...we'll fix that for him soon.
