Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music

Global A Go-Go / Graybeard takeover

Sun, Jun 15, 2025

David is out of town today, so Bill from Global A Go-Go and DJ Graybeard from The Other Black Music and The Motherland Influence are taking the helm of Ambiance Congo. Bill has some acoustic rumba, soukous and current urban sounds from Kinshasa lined up for you; Graybeard is using this opportunity as a reason to unbox a bunch of Congolese CDs he hasn’t played in quite some time.

As always, it will be the best in Central African dance music that you would never hear on the radio otherwise. So crank it up and share with your neighbors on this Father’s Day afternoon.
