A hard rock mash up – Bandleader Paul Ngozi’s split album with his drummer and co-vocalist Chrissy Zebby Tembo . LP includes oversized 8p. booklet detailing Ngozi’s arc, rare photographs, discography and annotations Each album released under license from the Estate of Paul “Ngozi” 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. The Ngozi Family,WITCH and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent or elsewhere.
Now-Again has been reissuing the essential records from the Zamrock scene since 2010. Lightning and Thunder follows 99% Confusion and The Ghetto as part of an extensive campaign centered around Paul Ngozi and his band. These albums were preceded by Day of Judgement and 45,000 Volts.
