BUY THE COLLECTION AT BANDCAMP» NGOZI FAMILY – THE NOW-AGAIN BANDCAMP

OUT NOW: Never before issued Zamrock! The lost album by Paul Ngozi, Chrissy Zebby Tembo and the Ngozi Family. LP includes oversized 8p. booklet detailing Ngozi’s arc, rare photographs, discography and annotations. Released under license from the Estates of Paul Nyirongo and Chrissy Zebby Tembo.

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. The Ngozi Family,WITCH and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent or elsewhere. MORE

2010: Egon in Munich with Embyro, JJ Whitefield, J.Rocc and Madlib

Madlib with Embryo’s founder Christian Burchard.

In June of 2010, Egon flew first to Copenhagen for a gig with Madlib and J.Rocc and then on to Munich where he -with the help of ex-Embryo and Amon Duul bassist Uve Mullrich – assembled Madlib, J.Rocc, ex-Embryo guitarist Roman Bunka, Karl Hector, Whitefield Brothers and Poets of Rhythm producer and guitarist JJ Whitefield and the late Embryo founder Christian Burchard and his daughter Marja for a series of jam sessions in an underground Munich bunker with this legendary Krautrock ensemble.

Well, it was more like a cold-storage cellar, but bunker sounds cooler. The wine was old Bordeaux, per Mullrich’s request. Mullrich’s daughter, the vocalist Bajka, came through to meet Madlib and discuss their collaborative album which was planned – and even contracted – to come out on Now-Again. Alas, that never happened but after Buchard’s passing, Marja completed an Embryo album – Auf Auf – that Egon and Madlib issued on Madlib Invasion. He took these photos then.
