The Other Black Music and Ambiance Congo share the Sunday 3-5pm EST time slot. This WRIR Spring Fund Drive falls on falls on David's Ambiance Congo. http://www.ambiancecongo.blogspot.com/ He's kind enough to share the time slot with me so we can bring you all 3 shows. He will present the first hour, I the second. We have lots of extra premiums 3-7pm. Check out the basic premiums here http://wrir.org/x/modules/news/article.php?storyid=9655
We also have for a $40 Ba Cissoko, Culture Musical Club, Fidel, Gangbe Brass Band, Novalima and Terekaff. For $75 we have 2 CD sets from Franko & Le TPOK Jazz and Rail Band.
During my set you will hear Gospel from The 5 Blind Boys, Funk from All Good Funk Alliance and Al Green, Zydeco, Blues and more. I'll end the show with the early 70's Detriot rock band Death. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2009/feb/09/detroit-band-death
