Zamrok/Funk

LINK

Zamrock band, formed in the Chamboli Mine Township of Kitwe, Zambia in the early 1970s. This is the first official reissue of this one and only  Zamrock album a lost message drifting from the flower power era, imbued with a fiery Zambian voice. The album, but also one full of direct calls for peace, revolution, and love over groovy guitars, bass and feel-good melodies. With tight guitars and quick beats, this is as close to funk and a little rock 'n' roll.

I can only recommend it!!!
