Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music presents:

WELCOME!

It’s time for another program where I feature a few of the very many extremely talented and innovative solo guitar artists of Congolese popular music.

I may omit some of your favorites as no one can pack a representative song from all the greats into a mere two hours.

This is at least the fourth or fifth time I’ve featured the guitar. I keep doing it because the guitar has, sadly, become a lowly background instrument in so much contemporary music replaced, like drums and even voices by keyboards and electronic sounds.

I’m doing a bit of digging to find great guitar music from this modern age. I’ll try to represent some in the future.

 

Want to learn more and hear more great Congolese guitar music? Don’t miss The Rumba Kings documentary coming this Thursday evening to the James River Film Festival at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts!
