Witch (Zamrock band)

Witch was a Zambian rock band, a key player in the Zamrock genre. Active primarily during the 1970s, they are considered one of the most important and influential bands of the era. Their music blended elements of hard rock, psychedelic rock, and traditional Zambian musical styles, creating a unique and powerful sound. The band's lineup varied over the years, but consistently featured strong musicianship and songwriting. Their recordings are characterized by energetic performances, heavy guitar riffs, and often politically charged lyrics reflecting the social and political climate of the time in Zambia. Though they achieved some regional success, their music remained largely undiscovered internationally until a resurgence of interest in Zamrock in recent years. Their influence continues to be felt on contemporary artists exploring similar sounds and genres. Further research is ongoing to fully document their career and complete discography.
