WITCH

WITCH, an acronym for "We Intend to Cause Havoc," is an influential rock band hailing from Zambia, which formed in the 1970s during a musical movement known as Zamrock. The group's sound is a fusion of psychedelic rock, African rhythms, and heavy funk, embodying the spirit and revolutionary zest of their era. Led by the charismatic Emmanuel "Jagari" Chanda—whose stage name is an Africanisation of Mick Jagger—the band experienced local success and a cult following internationally.

In recent years, WITCH has seen a resurgence in popularity, thanks to the reissue of their vintage records and a renewed interest in Zamrock music. Collaborations with modern artists, such as Keith Kabwe of Amanaz, have bridged the gap between Zamrock's golden age and contemporary listeners. Their more recent works, including albums like "Kuomboka" and standalone tracks such as "Zango" and "Nshingilile," showcase a timeless energy and profound ability to adapt and resonate across generations. "Witch: We Intend to Cause Havoc!" and "Erotic Delight / Change of a Feeling" have allowed new audiences to discover the band's dynamic range and raw emotional power, ensuring that WITCH's legacy endures well beyond its original heyday.
