Description
WITCH was the first band in Zambia to release a commercial album — 1973’s ‘Introduction.’ Blending the rock and roll sounds of The Rolling Stones together with more traditional, African rhythms, WITCH pioneered a new genre dubbed Zamrock, and during their brief, yet prolific existence, WITCH (an acronym for We Intend To Cause Havoc) released 7 albums and were the most revered band in the country.
WITCH's 8th studio album, ‘Zango,’ was released June 2 2023 on Desert Daze Sound, an imprint of Partisan managed by Phil Pirrone, founder of the Desert Daze festival. Featuring contributions from Keith Kabwe (Amanaz), Theresa Ng’ambi, Hanna Tembo, and Sampa The Great, the album was recorded at DB Studios, the same Zambian facility used for their 1975 LP ‘Lazy Bones’ some 46 years before.
