Thirty years ago, Le Grand Maitre Franco Lumabo Makiadi left us. Today I will spin a few of his songs from the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s in memorium.

Plus MORE great Congolese music.

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.

African, Latin & Caribbean. Usually heavy on the African side, and today is no different.

Starting off with some steak-searing music from eastern Nigeria…

Congolese music. Something different every time, but if you like a song you’ve heard here before, please let me know and I’ll spin it for you.

Here’s something cool I’ll spin today. It came with an issue of Revue Noire back in ’96.

Enjoy!
