On saturday night after I recorded Tambour d’Afrique I attended my friend’s birthday party and spent the day at her house. For that reason I have yet to upload the show from last week and the week before. As you know Tambour d’Afrique just celebrated 1 year on the air. Those two shows are a 2 part celebration of Tambour d’Afrique’s birthday and the New Year. Be sure to check back in for the mp3 links.

In the meantime I wanted to talk about an artist by the name of Verkys. He went from being Franco’s right hand man in his early teens to owning his own Production Studio in his midtwenties and breaking some of Congolese music biggest acts of the 70s like Zaiko Langa Langa. Read this article I read from Afropop.org: Verkys Biography.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Verkys’ work and I wanted to share a few songs that I love.

Fifi (previously posted) – his first single under his own band.
Vivita
Mopanzi Na Wuta Lengema

Last weeks show will be upped soon. The website that I use to upload files divshare has been having some technical difficulties this week. I may have to switch to another program. Anyhow the redesign of the blog is underway. An online buddy of mine who goes by hardware is doing the redesign for me. I would like to publicly thank him, THANKS!
You can see his artwork at his blog, You Don’t See Us. His art is really great. I’m really thankful for his services and can’t wait to see what he turns out. I’m 100% sure it will be an awesome looking webdesign.

I would like to thank you all for your patience and for sticking by Tambour d’Afrique for this past year. Our mission to make a better radio show and blog that does congolese music justice continues.

I will leave you all with a song I’ve been listening to a lot this week. It is called
Tantine Betena by Langa Langa Stars. Enjoy…PEACE

The first hour he plays songs that were chosen by me and then pays tribute to Tabu Ley Rocheraeu. Next week will be a special Anniversary episode and also a New Years Celebration. All those celebrating Christmas, Merry Christmas and Tune in this saturday. PEACE

Tambour d’Afrique will be getting another face lift soon. I’m in the process of speaking to someone about redesigning the site for me. I want the look of the site to match the calibur and overall enthusiasm of the show Tambour d’Afrique. I want to bring more commentary in coming months. Tambour d’Afrique will soon be a year old and in celebration of that the site should reflect this achievement of certain longevity. In the meantime continue to enjoy the show on Saturday nights from 10pm – 12am Eastern Standard Time (NY) @ www.radiotriomphe.com and log on here to download a copy of the show.

The journey has just begun. Tambour d’Afrique will continue to expand and we thank the fans for allowing us to do that and joining us for the ride.

Peace…
