WITCH (We Intend To Cause Havoc)
Scala, N1 9NL , [Venue Details]Following their remarkable global resurgence and critical acclaim around 2023’s reunion album Zango – their first in nearly 40 years – Zamrock pioneers WITCH (We Intend To Cause Havoc) return with an even bolder creative statement with their follow-up, Sogolo.
Its name derived from the Zambian word for ‘future’, SOGOLO is a sonic victory lap from a band one thought forgotten to history. It weaves together strains of the garage-infused psych, funk, and rock that WITCH quite literally helped invent back in their 1970s heyday, all while embracing the experimental spirit of the moment. Recorded in Berlin during their whirlwind world tour, and helmed in the studio once again by producer Jacco Gardner, SOGOLO brims with urgency, excitement, and discovery, propelled as always by the magnetic presence of frontman Emmanuel ‘Jagari’ Chanda.
The full story of WITCH is almost too extraordinary to believe. Known as the ‘Zambian Beatles’, they founded the Zamrock movement and released seven albums during the 1970s and early ’80s. Tragically, the AIDS epidemic brought an end to the Zamrock era, claiming the lives of all original members except Jagari. WITCH’s music was reissued in 2012, sparking a global rediscovery that led to their triumphant return. Zango was met with rapturous acclaim, including a major New York Times profile, sold-out world tours, and an award-winning documentary that screened globally.
