Celebrated Zambian guitarist and bandleader Paul Ngozi\u2019s concept album about the stuggles of those living in Africa\u2019s 1970s townships Includes Oversized 8 Page Booklet That Details Paul Ngozi and The Ngozi Family\u2019s Arc, Including Rare Photographs, Discography And Annotation. The third entry in an era-defining reissue series on Now-Again centered around this Zamrock legend and his band – previous entries include Day Of Judgement and 45,000 Volts<\/p>\n
“Zambia\u2019s Zamrock movement that exploded in the 1970s…provided young musicians access to European and American music, and created a unique sound. At its root, Zamrock melded fuzz-toned psychedelia, chugging garage rock and roiling funk with a broad mix of African cadences and beats…enlivening a scene that included bands like Musi-O-Tunya, Amanaz and the Ngozi Family\u201d (New York Times)<\/p>\n
Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene: on the African continent, only Nigeria can claim one so comprehensive, and Nigeria\u2019s was largely catalyzed and funded by subsidiaries of the European major labels. Zamrock was as independent as the newly-named country, formerly known as Northern Rhodesia. Zamrock is starting in its completeness, especially for a scene that emerged, unfurled and disappeared so quickly. From Musi-O-Tunya\u00eds fusion of Fela\u2019s Afro-beat, Hendrix\u2019s rock, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies and rhythms to Salty Dog\u2019s acid folk\/rock, Zambia\u2019s rock scene contained all of rock\u2019s subgenres. Zamrock was much more than an imitation of American and European rock music: it quickly became a uniquely Zambian movement, befitting of its name. WITCH, Paul Ngozi and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent – or elsewhere.<\/p>\n
