WITCH Announce New Album SOGOLO: Hear “Queenless King”

Back in the ’70s and ’80s, the Zambian band WITCH pioneered the subgenre known as Zamrock, a specific fusion of psychedelic rock and African music. WITCH broke up in the mid-’80s, but they reunited and started playing live again in 2012. In recent years, lots of people have been discovering or rediscovering WITCH’s music, thanks in part to the way that the Zambian-born artist Sampa The Great has listed them as an inspiration. In 2022, WITCH released “Waile,” their first new song in 38 years, and they followed it with the Sampa The Great collab “Avalanche Of Love” and then the reunion album Zango. They’re not done yet. There’s another album on the way.
