Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music
Ambiance Congo: October 22, 2023 3:00-5:00 PM
Papa Wemba (photo from the BBC). I like to imagine that he’s smiling as he acknowledges our donors.
WELCOME!
Welcome to another edition of Ambiance Congo.
We’re into our Fall 2023 Fund Drive. Thank you for your consideration and donations.
We’ll be telling you about that and passing the plate, so please make any donation that you can because, of course. you love what WRIR brings to your life.
But first and foremost, I’m here to play great music that you already love and cannot hear elsewhere or have never heard anywhere before but will enjoy today. That’s what WRIR is about.
The music today spans from the 1950s to this month.
Most times, I have at least one or two surprises and rare songs in the mix.
Today is no exception.
