THE CONGO TOUCH

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

on East African Pop
Compiled and introduced by JOHN STORM ROBERTS
Produced by Douglas Cleverdon
The exuberant world of East African pop music (expressed through the flourishing recording companies of Kenya) reveals an astonishing range of interweaving styles. Kenya and Tanzania have their own indigenous pop: but a major recent influence has been the Congolese evolution of Latin-American sounds.
To be repeated on May 20 followed by an interlude at 7.25
