Ngozi Family: 99% Confusion LP

"A late period hard-rock, proto-punk entry in Zambian guitarist and bandleader Paul Ngozi's extensive catalog. Featuring drummer Chrissy Zebby Tembo. LP includes oversized eight-page booklet detailing Ngozi's arc, rare photographs, discography and annotations. Released under license from the Estate of Paul Nyirongo. Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene, with albums released through independent labels based in Zambia. This music scene was complete, encompassing the genres of rock, acid folk, fusion, Afro-beat, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies. 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." "Zambia's 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." --The New York Times
