Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music
Ambiance Congo: July 5, 2020 3:00-5:00 PM
In celebration of the Independence Days of both USA (1776) and RDCongo (1960), I will play music primarily from the first decade of Congo’s independence. This is beautiful, joyous and complex music. You won’t want to miss out!
Gotta say I LOVE these late 1960s album covers!
