“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.” — The New York Times

Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene, with albums released through independent labels based in Zambia. This music scene was complete, encompassing the genres of rock, acid folk, fusion, Afro-beat, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies. It quickly became a uniquely Zambian movement, befitting of its name. WITCH, Paul Ngozi and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent or elsewhere. 

Now-Again has been reissuing the essential records from the Zamrock scene for going on 15 years. 99% Confusion is part of an extensive campaign centered around Paul Ngozi and his band and is preceded by The Ghetto, Day of Judgement and 45,000 Volts.
