Now-Again
WITCH - Lukombo Vibes LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition "Aged-Copper" green colour vinyl.
Zambia's premier garage-, psych-, prog-, funk-, afro-rock ensemble WITCH, remastered from the original master tapes. WITCH's musical arc is contained to a five year span and, in retrospect, is a logical one. The band's albums - released in unison with the birth of the commercial Zambian recording industry - are exuberant experiments in garage rock, and are as influenced by the Rolling Stones as they are James Brown. Thus Introduction, their first, is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in delving into the WITCH band, or Zamrock in general.
The band's fourth album - recorded after the band toured with Osibisa - makes use of traditional Zambian rhythms and folk melodies alongside progressive rock movements. It is the most ''afro-rock'' of WITCH's oeuvre.
