Ambiance Congo: June 14, 2015

Welcome!
Lots of good music in a variety of styles this time.


Looks like I've previously many of the covers of albums played on today's program. If you would like to see a particular album cover not shown here, just type the album or artist name in the search box at the top left of this page and scroll through the results until you see it.
This was another show here I had something planned and then went somewhere else as the program progressed. I bring a lot of albums with me to the radio station in case I receive a request. Luckily, I did have Werrason's FLECHE INGETA with me! Thanks for that request!

To listen, please use one of the following links. I remind you that the first link is only good for two weeks.

Ambiance Congo: May 31, 2015

Welcome!
Response to the last program of older music was great! Thanks to everyone for your comments and emails.
Thanks also to Dave P. who corrected my poor French during today's program. "Femme Celibataire" is "Single Woman", not "Famous Woman".
So this time we start with a bang of modern music from Diassy T'Zen followed more great music from the past. Minzoto Wella-Wella, Franco, Nana & Baniel with T.P. OK Jazz, Docteur Nico and more.
Then some nice modern rumba from Rumbanella Band, Montana Kamenga, Werrason and....MORE!
Enjoy!
Your requests and comments are always welcome. Thanks for listening.
Daudi

Ambiance Congo: May 17, 2015

WELCOME!
Welcome to Ambiance Congo, your English-language radio program of all Congolese music.
Today I have for you nothing but older music, the favorite genre for most listeners. My favorite as well!
I've got Franco & T.P. O.K. Jazz, Johnny Bokelo, Papa Wemba, Choc Stars, Le Peuple and a whole lot more. Most of the program was pulled from original vinyl, though there are a couple of gems, like the killer track of Orchestre Makinaloka, that came from CD compilations.
I hope that you will enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed pulling records out of the crate and queueing them up and spinning them for you.
You may download the program with track list here:

Ambiance Congo: may 3, 2015

WELCOME!
I have been getting some newer music lately. I had been disappointed with a lot of new Congolese music because the guitar sebene (dance segment at the end of the song) had been replaced by extended vocal parts and virtually eliminated except in a few cases where it was allowed to creep in for a few seconds at the very end. The songs have also become disjointed mash-ups of varying rhythms that seldom seem flow comfortably from one to the next within a particular song.
To my happy surprise, some of the newest CDs I've heard have begun to have longer, more cohesive sebenes. Although many of these now have less inspired vocal parts, I am encouraged that new era of music may be on its way, hopefully leading to a renaissance of music that draws more from the odemba masters than from the trend-setters of the last few years.
Today's program features a few of these new discs and some very nice older music as well, but most tunes come from around 1998-2002.
I hope that you'll enjoy the program and let me know what you would like to hear next time!
