Witch - Waile - a new single from Zamrock legends (2 original members + a band of Europeans from Mauskovic Dance Band, Whitefield Brothers, & L’Eclair)
“Waile” is WITCH’s first original material since 1984, as well as the band’s first release with co-founder and vocalist Emmanuel “Jagari” Chanda since 1977. "Waile" is built on a xylophone groove, with feverish bass, storm-cloud fuzz and funk guitars conjured around it. The track marauds through percussive rhythms into guitar solos and heavy snare fills, with powerful female choral refrains shifting the mood from triumph to anguish. Jagari’s lyrics touch on the struggles entwined in the histories of migrants in Zambia, Angola, the Congo and other nearby countries: “there’s a lot of death, sickness, poverty, and misery,” he says. “The song is lamenting that pitiful situation, that’s the Waile — it’s a word in the Lunda and Luvale language.” “'Waile' was one of the songs that I brought to the WITCH when I joined in 1978,” continues keys genius Patrick Mwondela. “While it was played live often back in the day, it was never recorded until the new formation of the band picked it up 43 years later during a rehearsal on an island in Kenya, where the band embraced it and made it their own. A few months after that, they gave it a new lease of life by recording it in Lusaka’s legendary dB Studios (site of the original WITCH 70s recordings). Sang in my native language Luvale, the subject matter is a nostalgic wailing for home of ancient African tribes that would eventually settle in Zambia." WITCH: Jagari Chanda – Vocals Patrick Mwondela – Keys & Synths Jacco Gardner – Bass & Synths Nico Mauskoviç – Drums & Percussion Stefan Lilov – Guitar JJ Whitefield – Guitar Featuring: Theresa N'Gambi - Backing vocals Hanna Tembo - Backing vocals Recorded live to tape at DB Studios which was equipped with the same machinery that recorded Lazy Bones in 1975 and brought back to life for the occasion for the first time in decades by Zamrock Engineer Peter Musungilo and his trusted partner Michael Linyama.

@darksuburbmusic is an alternative rock band from Ghana 🇬🇭 A suburb of Africa that has adopted and refined a culture of masquerades in the continent as their image. Thus giving new impetus to a costume art form that is prevalent in many African societies. The band wears skeleton masks to highlight the point of our shared humanity and to remind the world that we are one people regardless of sex, race, or social status.

Osibisa
I knew I would love Osibisa from the Roger Dean cover of their first album with its butterfly elephants & the stylized lettering of their name. I was some what prepared for their African rhythms by Santana & their horn section was/is amazing plus some proto-Hendrix guitar work. I also have to admit the amount of male flesh revealed in their cover photos also held my attention. Top that off with a…

Frankosun and the Family - Small Talk Big Problem - Franck Komolou and his Finnish Afrobeat band
Hailing from the Voodoo backwoods of Benin, Oladele Franck Komolou, founded the band Frankosun And The Family in Helsinki 2013. Since then, the band has conquered peoples hearts with their amazing music, shows and energy. Heavily influenced by the rhythms and history of the Nago.
The word "Nago" derives from the word "Anago", a term Fon-speaking people use to describe Nago - Yoruba speaking people residing in Benin. The Nago–Yoruba community is characterized by the masked dance called Guèlèdè – a special dance rich in songs, music, epic and lyrical poems under the rhythms, and sounds of tam-tams.
The band excellently combines 70's and 80's style beninese and nigerian afrobeat with afrofunk and afrorock.
Composer, Lyricist, Lead Vocals: Oladele Franck Koumolou Bass Guitar, Mixer, Sound Engineer: Lauri Kallio Backing Vocals: Ayla Brinkmann Backing Vocals: Tiina Heikkinen Backing Vocals: Outi Kaltiokumpu Vocals, Backing Vocals: Charlotta Kerbs Arranger: Oladele Franck Koumolou and the Family Electric Guitar: Ville Sirviö Drums: Keijo Koskenharju Keyboards, Alto Saxophone: Johannes Sarjasto Baritone Saxophone: Joose Kyyrö Congas: Janne Auvinen Percussion: Arwi Lind Percussion: Mikko Koivisto Tenor Saxophone: Jimi Tenor Trombone: Panu Luukkonen Trumpet: Eero Savela
