Lightning And Thunder

2024 reissue of Lightning and Thunder - prime zamrock from Paul Ngozi

A late period hard-rock, proto-punk entry in Zambian guitarist and bandleader Paul Ngozi’s extensive catalog. LP includes oversized 8 page booklet detailing Ngozi’s arc, rare photographs, discography and annotations. "Zambia’s Zamrock movement that exploded in the 1970s...provided young musicians access to European and American music, and created a unique sound. At its root, Zamrock melded fuzz-toned psychedelia, chugging garage rock and roiling funk with a broad mix of African cadences and beats...enlivening a scene that included bands like Musi-O-Tunya, Amanaz and the Ngozi Family” – NY Times.
