Zamrock
Zamrock is a genre of music that originated in Zambia during the early 1970s. It blends traditional African rhythms with elements of rock music, creating a unique sound characterized by electric guitars, catchy melodies, and vibrant percussion. The genre emerged during a time of social and political change in Zambia, reflecting the experiences and aspirations of its people.
Key bands and artists in the Zamrock scene include Witch, Amayenge, and The Peace, who gained popularity for their innovative styles and energetic performances. Although Zamrock experienced a decline in the late 1970s, it has seen a resurgence in interest, with new generations discovering its rich musical heritage.
