Ambiance Congo: April 17, 2016

Welcome!
This post is very late and I apologize to those who have been waiting.
Sometimes the responsibilities of life take precedence over pleasure!
The program featured here was recorded during WRIR's semi-annual fund drive, so the songs were chosen to spark interest an a diverse audience.
THANK YOU to those who did listen live and THANK YOU to those who chose to donate. You still can. Just visit www.wrir.org and click on the DONATE button to help keep these programs coming.

It is with a very heavy heart that I note today the passing of the great Papa Wemba, Kuru Yaka, Pap de Sap.
I'll be playing a number of his songs next time and your requests will make for a better program than if I were to choose all songs myself. Please use the Requests link or comment here.
I go dark on images today as a "moment of silence" for Papa Wemba.

Ambiance Congo: April 3, 2016

Welcome!
I want to extend a warm welcome to Tim who is working and listening in Mongolia, where Ambiance Congo is"a beacon of sanity in the digital world". He requested the Choc Stars song included here today and I was happy to spin it for him! Where are YOU, and what would YOU like to hear next time? A song? A theme? A shout to your favorite person?
These recent weeks I have been immersed in work, a good thing when one is self-employed, so I came to the studio with no plans other than to play Tim's request and a big box of LPs and CDs.
I am truly blessed to be playing Congolese music, because almost everything is wonderful worthy of a listen.
I hope that you will agree!
