‘It’s pure WITCH: funky, a little mischievous, and unbelievably danceable.’ – Clash Music Once upon a time, WITCH (aka We Intend to Cause Havoc) ruled Zambia, blowing the minds of a generation with their radical sounds. Zamrock wasn’t just music, it was rebellion, a sonic renaissance and a powerful act of self-definition funnelled through fuzz pedals, sweat, and spirit. Drawing from psychedelic rock, garage funk, blues, and traditional Zambian rhythms, it was raw and unpredictable – like James Brown jamming with Black Sabbath in a Lusaka backyard. The band’s electrifying guitar sound is both primal and futuristic – the distortion heavy, the grooves deep, and the energy untamed.
The iconic ensemble is survived by lead vocalist Jagari Chanda and keyboardist Patrick Mwondela, who came back after decades in obscurity following a major NY Times profile, an award-winning documentary and brilliant 2023 comeback album, Zango. Following their triumphant sold-out 2024 world tour, WITCH make their Melbourne Recital Centre debut with their phenomenal new album, Sogolo.
