Amanaz: Africa Vinyl 2LP
Issued in 1975, this is the articulation of Zambia’s Zamrock ethos. While other albums - Rikki Ililonga’s Zambia, WITCH’s Lazy Bones - are competitors, it’s hard to best this album as it covers each major quadrant of the Zamrock whole: it came from the mines; its musicians were anti-colonial freedom fighters, it envelops Zambian folk music traditions, and it rocks - hard.
- black double vinyl pressing
- contains both released versions of the album: a dry drums-up mix, and a reverb-drenched fuzz guitar dominated mix
- music label: Now-Again Records 2020
