Archival reissue of Paul Ngozi’s hard-edged, proto-punk, mid-1970s Zamrock masterwork. Featuring Chrissy Zebby Tembo. First official reissue.
Originally released in 1977, Ngozi Family's 45,000 Volts was a sharp cut, defining slice of Zamrock, lost to all but vinyl addicts with serious money to splash until now, with its re-release on Now-Again Records.
A great series unfolds in episodes and The Story of Zamrock is told in chapters. This box set ships with all eight albums inside, and each will be housed in episode sleeves.
Along the way, you will hear the stories behind Zamrock through exclusive access to a 4-episode podcast…. And you will watch the never before seen Zamrock mini-documentary, filmed on location across Zambia…. Both featuring interviews with members of WITCH, Oscillations, Musi-O-Tunya, Crossbones and Amanaz.
Paul Ngozi and his Ngozi Family Band created some of the most intense, raw and inimitable golden-era Zamrock recorded.
Ngozi was born Paul Dobson Nyriongo on January 10, 1949, in Lusaka’s crime-ridden Chibolya township. He grew up as a “rude boy” before taking to music.
He died of what are assumed to be AIDS Related Causes in 1989; family members and Zamrockers both served as his pallbearers.
