LA RUMBA CONGOLAISE EST UN RHYTHME ORIGINAIRE DE L'AFRIQUE QUI DURANT LA TRAITE DES ESCLAVES EST PARVENU EN AMERIQUE PLUS PRECISEMENT A CUBA. APRES UN MELANGE AVEC LES RHYTHMES ESPAGNOLS, CETTE MUSIQUE SE RETROUVA ENCORE EN AFRIQUE DANS LES BARS FREQUENTES PAR LES COLONS ET LES AFRICAINS DURANT LES ANNEES 40'S A 50'S. LES ARTISTES CONGOLAIS TEL QUE WENDO, FRANCO, KALLE, NICO, ROCHERAU, ESSOUS ETCCCC.... ONT TRANSFORME CE RHYTHME DANS SON GENRE ACTUEL. LE CHA CHA CHA, LE BOLERO, LE SALSA ETCC... SONT TOUS LIES A LA RUMBA CONGOLAISE.

CONGOLESE RUMBA is related to the Rumba rhythm in Cuba which originated from Africa with the slave trade then that rhythm went back with Spanish/Latin American influence during colonial times in the 40's and 50's. Congolese artistes retook it and transformed it again in its current form. Many rhythms are related to it such as Salsa, Cha cha cha, Guarancha, Bolero (slows)....

Tambour D'Afrique Recap...

Last night once again the show aired with no problems. My recording of the show however is missing the first 5 minutes. I was returning home from visiting with family and cut it really close. But as a consolation here is a link to the first song that played in the broadcast
"PETIT CHERI" by Youlou Mabiala & Kamakazie Loningisa. This song must be enjoyed in its entirety :)

Guy covered the following subjects on last night's show:

*film maker Raoul Peck and his film Lumumba.
*hospitality within African culture and how the economy has changed the way we interact with each other as a result. (correlated with a Negro Success song)
*Franco and his special dedication to his brother Bavon Marie Marie.

I will incorporate these subjects into blog entries over the next week so stay tuned. Until then you can enjoy the show again and again:

Tambour D'Afrique: Last Night Recap

Last night's show went very well. Guy played a very nice selection of songs from various artists, Orchestre Makassy (Kenya), Bavon Marie Marie (Franco's brother), and Festival du Zaire among many others.

During the world news segment Guy discussed the issue of illiteracy (or analphabetism) in Africa and other third world countries and how it effects the family structure. Young girls are forced to forgo school and get married while boys are sent to get an education. This in turn causes a strange shift in the family structure where young girls have to marry older men. This form of sexism keeps the female child from developing to her full potential as a person and her worth is placed in having and rearing children. Guy played a clip from UNESCO that dealt with the issue. I will definitely have a blog on the subject in the following week.

Guy then introduced a new segment to the show where he Showcases a particular artist giving a little bit of information and playing a selection of songs. Last night he showcased the artist Franco. At the beginning of this month I blogged extensively on Franco so I won't blog again about his life but I will also do a small showcase of him sometime during the week.

I would say last night's shows was one of the best and it seems Tambour D'Afrique is on a nice roll. The best is yet to come so keep on listening and thank you for the support.

Humble Beginnings...TAMBOUR D'AFRIQUE RADIO

Last night Tambour D'Afrique, hosted by Guy Angrand, aired with no problems. It was a rebroadcast of the second show recorded. Although it was a rebroadcast this was one of the shows from earlier that I was unable to record and place in the playlist for you all. So it's like new but as you can tell by a few simple errors made that it was just the beginning of this great show.


In the playlist over to the right, I had to make some corrections as far as the show numbers. The show that WAS labeled Show #2 previously is now "Show #3." and Show # 3 is now "Show #4." the rest of the shows I left as they were. I was trying to label the show by WEEK but since there have been some technical difficulties causing me to miss a few shows and also due to rebroadcasts I kind of lost track of which show is from what week lol Pardon me for that...

If I'm not mistaken the show has been running for 15 weeks now
but from now on I will be just numbering them. The last new show that I recorded
was Show #11 so starting next week I will start with 12 and so on.

Here is a downloadable link of last night's show:
TAMBOUR D'AFRIQUE: THE START


In this broadcast Guy touched on the origins of "Modern Congolese" music. This week I will break the episode down into parts and give you Show #2 in blog form. Thanks for tuning in. Stay tuned for Sunday Nite Videos later on tonight...PEACE
