Hosted by Neva E. Wartell.
In this broadcast we celebrate both sides of Central Africa's Congo River with a live mix of folkloric and pop music styles (rumba, soukous, mutuashi, kwassa kwassa, cavacha, madiaba, and more) from the 1950s to the present. An excursion of sound and rhythm where you'll encounter the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene. For the avid globe-hopper and armchair traveler alike. You might want to pack a map and a sandwich. Broadcast live from the Carnegie Room of the Catskill Library. Hosted by Neva E. Wartell.
