Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music presents:

Two of today’s albums.

WELCOME!

Today I’ll start with a great cover of an Emeneya song followed by a sampling of styles from Djo Nolo to Extra Musica including a nice song from Alain & Bouro Mpela’s questionably named “Mortel Combat” album.

Later in the program, I have a medley of classic songs revived and revised by others. You’ll get a chance to hear my friend Wawali Bonane’s excellent version of Bokelo’s “Sandoka” in that mix.
