Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music
Ambiance Congo: July 18, 2021 3:00-5:00 PM
WELCOME!
Today we will provide a special edition of Ambiance Congo. I have a discussion this afternoon with Alan Brain, director of the wonderful new feature-length documentary, The Rumba Kings.
As a part of this year’s Richmond International Film Festival, The Rumba Kings will have its premiere USA showing right here in Richmond, Virginia on September 11 at the Byrd Theatre.
Listen in today to learn about this landmark film and to hear some great music from the era and beyond.
