Technical Difficulties

I must say right now I am extremely frustrated. I recorded last weeks show but the program I was using left spaces in the recording. Over the past few days I've been editing the show to take the silent spaces out. Some how the show didn't save properly and all the audio is jumbled. I feel really bad because last weeks show was a very good one. The blog was set up so that those who don't get a chance to listen live can still hear the show and even enjoy different episodes over and over again. I am sorry to the fans of the show who expect to log on to Tambour d'Afrique to hear the shows they missed.

The good news is I finally found a program that shouldn't give me anymore problems and shows in the future will hopefully be error free and here for you to enjoy. Tomorrow I will put up a playlist of the songs Guy played on 10.25.08.

Also please note that old Divshare links are not working because there is a monthly download and upload limit. I am in the process of transferring all of these files to Imeem and Mediafire (for download).

Thank you for your patience and for continuing to log on to Tambour d'Afrique. Your support is appreciated.

On last weeks show a fan from Miami florida requested (live on air, yes you can do that!) "I Love You" by Abeti Masikini. I will leave you with this song. Until next time... Peace...

Another Musical Moment w/Ms Bazu

Orchstre Kiam - Moni Afinda 1&2


Moni Afinda - Orchrestre Kiam



Moni Afinda 1

Moni Afinda 2

There is something about the sound and composition of this song I just can't get enough of. There is no duplicating this sound. The echo on the vocals is pure magic. Classic early Verkys production under Veve studios. The more I listen the more he's becoming my favorite Congolese composer.


Enjoy this song as I prepare Emission 10.25.08 for uploading. Peace...

BARACK OBAMA


In less than a month on November 4th Americans will be voting for and electing a new president of the United States. We here at Tambour d'Afrique endorse and fully support Democratic Candidate, Senator Barack Obama.

Since his decision to run for President he has been seen as an agent for Change and Hope, not only in the United States but the world over. An example of his world wide popularity is the influx of support Obama has received through song. Here are a few of my favorites.

American singer/rapper/songwriter, Will.I.Am and friends - We Are The Ones (Obama)



Jamaican singer, Cocoa Tea - Barack Obama



Jamaican singer, Mavado - We Need Barack




OBAMA UBARIKIWE - OBAMA BE BLESSED!

Samba Mapangala - Obama Ubarikiwe (Vocal Remix)

Congolese born Kenyan based singer Samba Mapangala (featuring 14 year old rapper Faraka Ndege from Minneapolis) sings 'Obama Ubarikiwe' which means 'Obama be blessed' in Swahili. (The song playing through Imeem is the remix with no rap)



If you are in the U.S. and are eligible, PLEASE VOTE!

PEACE :)

THANK YOU FOR VISITING TAMBOUR D'AFRIQUE...

I haven't been updating with that much information in almost a year. I feel really bad about that actually. I have been working on my music and so my concentration on the genre of Congolese Rumba has been limited. I still find time to listen to it but I haven't really been thinking of different topics to speak on etc. I've decided to change that and there will be more updates in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned and keep visiting the site. Listen to Tambour d'Afrique tonight @ www.radiotriomphe.com 10 PM NY TIME and every Saturday at the same time.

We appreciate the fans very much. If you have any suggestions on how we could make the show and/or blog better please feel free to leave comments and your suggestions will be considered.

PEACE :)
