Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music presents:
Ambiance Congo: September 15, 2019 3:00-5:00 PM
Today we’ll hear a lot of the great Congolese music from the 1950s.
This won’t be all inclusive or a go-to resource, but I’ll try to represent many of the great big bands and smaller orchestres of the era.
I hope that you’ll get into this program as much as I did in putting it together!
I give salute to the greats of a great era.
