Ngozi Family Featuring Chrissy Zebby Tembo - Gate Crash '78 (RSD 2026 VINYL) | Mint (M) Mint (M)

Now-Again Issues The Never Before Released Gate Crash '78 On RSD 2026 Includes Oversized, 8 Page Booklet That Details Paul Ngozi And The Ngozi Family's Arc, Including Rare Photographs, Discography And Annotation. The lost Ngozi Family/Chissy Zebby Tembo album! Only ever test pressed and never commercially released, Now-Again presents the ultimate Zamrock rarity and an essential entry from Zambian guitarist and bandleader Paul Ngozi's catalog. Zamrock was a bona-fide rock scene: on the African continent, only Nigeria can claim one so comprehensive, and Nigeria's was largely catalyzed and funded by subsidiaries of the European major labels. Zamrock was as independent as it's newlynamed country, formerly known as Northern Rhodesia. Zamrock is startling in it's completeness, especially for a scene that emerged, unfurled, and disappeared so quickly. From Musi-0-Tunya's fusion of Fela's Afro-beat, Hendrix's rock, South African jazz and traditional Zambian melodies and rhythms to Salty Dog's acid folk/rock, Zambia's rock scene contained all of rock's subgenres. Zamrock was much more than an imitation of American and European rock music: it quickly became a uniquely Zambian movement, befitting of it's name. WITCH, Paul Ngozi and Amanaz sound nothing like other rock music from the African continent-or elsewhere. Zamrock came from a nation's youth carrying forth the momentum of a political and social revolution with a musical revolution that maintained the fiery power of early rock-in the mid-to late-'70s. From that era, Zamrock's energy is matched only by the Punk and Hip Hop scenes in England and America. Now-Again now issues this never before released full-length which includes an 8 page booklet, filled with rare photos and details on the Ngozi Family's musical journey, for Record Store Day 2026.
