There is not much in the way of good information out there and almost everything I read seems to have contradictory detail but multiple media outlets are reporting that Remmy Ongala, born in 1947 has passed away.

Our sister Lydia has requested me to post this on her behalf.
It’s been a long time but I now have a break and I have been enjoying a bountiful harvest of great music as I try to catch up with downloading…. thanks guys.
I may be joining the Soukous party late but here are some tracks I really enjoy from the Rumba Soukous album …. hope you all have a great week ahead.

Spam Dog has been working over time and giving me a hard time so I hope this posts successfully.
@ All
Since I am one of the few who has managed to escape from the custody of the Spam dog, I have an obligation to keep the fire of the blog burning. In addition to Lydia’s Soukous bash above, here is a 1994 collection of memorable tracks by Soukous Stars under the title “The Best of African Music”.

@ All:
It seems to work now. Supprisingly, it stored all our attempts to post and has now gone wild releasing all that was posted. So many duplicate posts.
@ Tina:
Where are you? You have been cut for so long. Try it now.
@All
When the postings are stored and then displayed later (repeatedly), something more needs to be done.
@ Saminator
Feel no offence. I will try all possible.
@Daudi
Affaire Semeki has been prescribed as the relief for my anxiety. SOS
@Fred
Good for you old boy. Your postings as well sneaked through.
@ All
I am now locked out kabisa
@ Egoing
I am yet to attain the status of a magician otherwise I would most definitely share those powers with the Clan members especially at such moments when our camaraderie is threatened by the Spam Dog. I have no doubt that the Steve is doing his best to get things back to normal.
@ Fred
It seems that your files were deleted too soon. When things normalize, could you please post the songs again?
@All
Have a fruitful week
