Repost: Mavuela Somo's AFFAIRE MOUGOYE

To all who have been asking for a repost of this album, here it is at last.
I cannot count the number of requests I've received here and seen on other sites. I sometimes wonder if I own the only copy of this magnificent album. Recorded and produced in Gabon, this Congolese LP is an album worthy of the great music found on Global Groove, World Service and Oro blogs to name a few.
Magnificent? Yes. It is perfectly composed, orchestrated, arranged and performed.
You will love the incredible choreography of belted-out, from-the-belly throaty vocals of Mavuela Somo with two guitars in the lead and wild, hit-the-right-note-every-time synths. I would love to know who these musicians are! Some truly great sebenes here!
Act now, because I limit downloads of material other than Ambiance Congo radio programs to 100, or forever hold your peace!

Ambiance Congo for September 12, 2010

Welcome!
On this program, you are presented with some wonderful Congolese music classics that may be difficult to find anywhere else. There are also a few old favorites that you'll be happy to hear again and there is new music that fits in comfortably as well.
Today's show was another play-it-as-it-goes production...my favorite kind of Sunday afternoon jam of our favorite music with the incredible voices, guitars and brass for which Lingala music is so very much loved.
I do advise you to to crank up,the sebenes on every song!
