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 :)

Relief Needed For Hurricane Ike Victims In Haiti...Emission 09.13.08

After being ravaged by Tropical Storm Fay, Hurricane Gustav, and Tropical Storm Hanna, over the course of a few weeks, Hurricane Ike violently swept through Haiti, leaving even more death and destruction in his wake. For the survivors of this hurricane rebuilding the little bit they had will take the help of others as most are left with absolutely nothing. Contact your local churches and community organizers and ask what you can do to help. Or go to the following links and send donations:

Friends of the Orphans - EMERGENCY RELIEF

Red Cross - INTERNATIONAL SERVICES

Food For The Poor, Inc. - HURRICANE RELIEF

PEACE from Tambour d'Afrique, to all the victims of this hurricane season through out the Caribbean and the U.S.

Tambour d'Afrique Returns...R.I.P. Wendo Kolosoy

After being on vacation for 2 weeks Guy "Mwana Mboka" returned last night for a new episode of Tambour d'Afrique! During his vacation on July 28th it was found out that The Father of modern Congolese music, Antoine "Papa" Wendo Kolosoy had joined the ancestors. He did what he loved to do best, singing, up until his death, releasing his most recent album Banaya Papa Wendo just last year. May he rest in peace and may
his memory and music live on forever. Peace...
