Ambiance Congo: August 26, 2012

Welcome to Ambiance Congo!
Every other Sunday afternoon I try to bring you an enjoyable mix of many different genres and ages of Congolese popular music. I love this music -it brings joy and ease to just about every part of my soul and body. Every other week, let us see if I can show you why.
Today's program is a nice mix, compiled live in the studio, that I hope will keep you dancing, that I hope will keep your mind engaged, and that I hope, as with every program, you'll want to listen to again! In choosing recordings to bring to the studio, I found a few old requests that I had missed and are presented today. I also rediscovered this wonderful CD by the Belgium-based group Black Story. I've been playing that disc a lot ever since!

Ambiance Congo: August 12, 2012

Welcome!
I love to present a program -such as this one- that includes so many different styles of modern Congolese music! Today we have songs from the 70s right up to today. We even have two very different songs that feature, to honor your requests, flutes mixed in with the horn section.
You'll hear a small tribute to the late Madilu System. You'll get killer 10+ minute track from Orchestre Sinza and songs from at least one older album that I've never spun on the show before.
So crank it up loud  and play it often. Enjoy!
The program with track list may be found here for the next two weeks:
