Zambian rock legends Witch return with Sogolo, a sprawling 12-track record that finds the band pushing their signature Zamrock sound into bold new directions. Recorded in Berlin mid-tour, the album blends garage rock, Afrobeat, reggae rhythms, and funky, tight rock 'n' roll, featuring contributions from global collaborators including bassist Jacco Gardner and drummer Nico Mauskoviç.
Sogolo is a rich and emotionally resonant listen, ranging from the group vocal harmonies of "Tiponde Madzi" to the Mdou Moctar-inspired desert rock of "(In Memory Of) John," a moving tribute to former bandmate and Zamrock legend John Muma. The album opens with "Kamusale," a track rooted in a Bemba children's game song, and consistently rewards listeners when the band locks into their heavy classic style — a powerful reminder of why Witch remain one of rock's most vital and singular acts.
