Samba Mapangala & Virunga at Folk Fest, Richmond

Here are a few shots from the first of three concerts.

Samba was in fine form and he and and his band were very well received!
Samba was joined on stage by a well-chosen group of talented musicians, most of whom are Congolese or East Africans who now reside here in the Mid-Atlantic states.


Misha Mfum (ex - Empire Bakuba).
Misha has a strong voice and a stage presence that rivals just about anyone.
He tells me that he'd like to reissue his solo album Empire Ambiance. Personally, I think he has the talent to consider making an album of new material.


Getry Mavambu (ex - Afrisa).
This veteran drummer lays it DOWN, keeping the beat with astonishing variety and flair.



"Nabtry Dancers" Francine and Grace.
While Francine's ambitions are for a singing career in another genre of music, Grace Haukwa is a talented, joyful and enthusiastic dancer. I'm willing to wager that she could perform with just about any Congolese or Kenyan band. She certainly knows the steps and the moves!


Guitarists John Bashengezi and Siama Matuzungidi.

Siama (original Virunga, ex - Shama Shama and Orchestre Cavacha) tells me that he played the original Cherie Kadetti with Dona Mobeti. He's a highly skilled veteran musician.

I had never heard John play before, but I guess I have missed out!
Wow! The man is GOOD! I think that he and Misha Mfum should consider
that album of new material...I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I regret that I did not get a decent picture of bassist Ali Mgawe.
You can ctach a glimpse of him in the group shot at the top of the page.
I regret that I did not get a decent picture of Cheryl Kramer.
You can catch a small glimpse of her, on keyboard, in the photo above of Samba with the Nabtry Dancers.
My apologies to Ali and Cheryl!

Ambiance Congo for Sunday September 27, 2009

Welcome to Ambiance Congo!

If you live here in Richmond or you can get to Richmond for Folk Fest http://www.richmondfolkfestival.org/docs/event_schedule.html you will be treated to three performances by Samba Mapangala and Orchestra Virunga.
Samba Mapangala was born in Matadi, Congo and began his musical career in Kinshasa. On tour in the eastern part of the country in the mid-70s, Samba and others from the group Orchestre Saka Saka left to begin work in Uganda as Les Kinois or, roughly, "The Kinshasa Guys". In 1977, they moved to Nairobi, Kenya and in 1981 started Orchestra Virunga. It was at that time that Samba and his band recorded the album that has gained and kept international attention, IT'S DISCO TIME WITH SAMBA MAPANGALA & ORCH VIRUNGA (aka MALAKO DISCO). This set of songs was reissued on the Earthworks label as VIRUNGA VOLCANO, an album listed as one of the 100 "must-have world music releases" of all time.

We start the program today with a track from Samba Mapangala and Virunga's new LIVE ON TOUR release, a song by Les Kinois and one from MALAKO. After that, we talk a bit with Samba on the phone and we are honored to be able to premiere a new song of his.
The second hour of the program features more songs from Congolese musicians and groups who made their mark in Kenya - Baba Gaston, Les Noirs, Les Mangelepa, Orchestra Viva Makale, Super Mazembe and more.
Here are a few of the album covers from today's program.
For the next two weeks, you may download a copy of this program here:

Ambiance Congo for Sunday August 30, 2009

Welcome to Ambiance Congo!
This time around I share with you a few songs by one of my favorite singers, the late Djo Mpoyi. Djo Mpoyi is probably best known for his stunning rendition of KADIMA with Franco's T.P. OK Jazz. You may hear that song again on Ambiance Congo today, but the first hour features him singing with Tiers Monde, Canon du Zaire and more. I was slated to play a song of his with Orchestre Kara, but a listener requested - and I played - another Orchestre Kara song instead. Great song, though, and I'm sure that you will enjoy it.

The second hour is a mix of a few other songs from artists who at one time or another were on the front lines of OK Jazz: Josky Kiambukuta, Ntesa Dalienst, Michel Boyibanda, Youlou Mabiala and others.

Here are a few album covers from this program, a program that was almost all on vinyl -rarely if ever seen on CD.


For the next two weeks, you may download a copy of the program here:
https://rcpt.yousendit.com/733427045/8b51e7c98619fd389a20b11ca34c4201

Ambiance Congo for Sunday August 16, 2009

Welcome and thanks for your visit. It is my pleasure to have you here. Last edition, I spun a song by the regrettably obsure singer Frank Lassan. The reaction was that more people wanted to hear more of his music. This time around, I start off with a little tribute to Frank Lassan including a cut from Beguen Band and request for the song SARAKOULE. Thanks to Mesager at http://www.mbokamosika.com/ for making a few of these available!
The second part of the program starts with a song from Madilu System's last album in observance of his passing two years ago. Then NEW music from Barbara Kanam, Fally Ipupa, Werrason and Kino-Mabella. I hope that you will enjoy it, play it loud and post requests for future programs.
Here are a few covers from LPs and CDs heard on this edition of Ambiance Congo.
To listen, you may download a copy of this program here:
