      Legendary yet ever-evolving, Zamrock pioneers WITCH (We Intend To Cause Havoc) continue to push boundaries with their bold new record, ‘SOGOLO’. After their remarkable resurgence and 2023’s critically acclaimed ‘Zango’ - their first album in nearly 40 years - ‘SOGOLO’ proves that their innovative spirit remains as strong as ever.

      Derived from the Zambian word for ‘future’, ‘SOGOLO’ weaves together strains of the garage-infused psych, funk and rock that WITCH quite literally helped invent back in their 1970s heyday, all while embracing the experimental spirit of the moment. Recorded in Berlin during their whirlwind world tour, ‘SOGOLO’ brims with urgency, excitement and discovery, propelled as always by the magnetic presence of frontman Emmanuel ‘Jagari’ Chanda.

      The full story of WITCH is almost too extraordinary to believe. Known as the ‘Zambian Beatles’, they founded the Zamrock movement and released seven albums throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. Tragically, the AIDS epidemic brought an end to the Zamrock era, claiming the lives of all original members except Jagari.

      Their music was reissued in 2012, sparking a global rediscovery that led to their triumphant return. ‘Zango’ was met with rapturous acclaim, including a major New York Times profile, sold-out world tours and an award-winning documentary that screened globally.

      With ‘SOGOLO’, WITCH reaffirm that their creative fire still burns bright, proving their legacy is far from finished.
