An episode of Zamrock firsts. Producer Billie David Nyati, who helped run Zambia Music Parlour under the direction of Edward Khuzwayo, recounts the excitement of being Zambia’s first independent record label, kick-starting the country’s recording boom in the early 1970s with an album by the band Tinkles. Vocalist Jagari Chanda tells the story of WITCH, Zamrock’s most beloved ensemble and the first Zambian rock group to release a vinyl record, namely the privately pressed edition of their debut release Introduction. Vocalist Violet Kafula, Zambia’s first female recording artist and a member of the band Crossbones, tells the story of the album Wise Man and the hit single that earned her the affectionate title the “Godmother of Zambian Pop.”
