Congo River

Story Behind The Song

This is one of a collection of six songs from my album, "Six Corners of Earth." Each song draws from a geographical area and combines instruments with nature sounds, modern beats blending New Age, World, and progressive concepts. This particular song draws from the Republic of Congo. I wrote it imagining a river boat traveling the Congo River. The 1951 movie, "The African Queen" with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn was the inspiration for this song.
