Salongo is an album by jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis, which was released on Columbia Records in 1976. It continued Lewis's run of successful albums, with Maurice White, of Earth Wind & Fire, and former Chess Records producer Charles Stepney returning to contribute material and handle production duties.
The album peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart and No. 17 on the Black Albums chart. The album title is a Zairian expression which means "We come together to create something beautiful out of love".
