WITCH 'Zango' LP

Zango is the first album in nearly 40 years from Zamrock icons WITCH, out now on Desert Daze Sounds. 

The record marks an astonishing return from the Zambian group, equalling the now storied legacy of their back catalog and reaffirming the relevance of the Zamrock movement they helped pioneer in the early 70s. 

Zango retains the hallmarks of the Zamrock sound, effortlessly blending proto-metal and hard rock riffs with Afrobeat and funk rhythms, while also re-energising the sound for a modern era. The record brilliantly utilises current day Zambian stars Theresa Ng’ambi, Hanna Tembo and Sampa The Great to complement bandleader Emmanuel "Jagari" Chanda, who at age 71 sounds as invigorated as he did in the band's infancy.
