Amanaz: Africa Vinyl 2LP

Issued in 1975, this album perfectly captures Zambia's Zamrock ethos. Although albums like Rikki Ililonga's Zambia and WITCH's Lazy Bones are good, this one is hard to beat. It covers all key aspects of Zamrock: it has roots in the mines, its musicians were anti - colonial freedom fighters, it combines Zambian folk music traditions, and it has powerful rock beats. Features a black double vinyl pressing. It includes two released versions of the album: a dry drums - up mix and a reverb - drenched fuzz guitar dominated mix. Music label: Now - Again Records 2020.
