Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing their first studio album in nearly forty years, the legendary Zambian pioneers successfully revitalize the groove-heavy sound of Zamrock for a modern era. 'Zango' fuses deeply fuzzed-out psychedelic rock guitars with tight, irresistible funk rhythms and traditional African percussive elements. It stands as an immensely joyous and triumphant comeback.
