In the years since Witch first made an impact, younger musicians have been paying attention.
Sampa the Great, a 29-year-old Zambian rapper with international reach, said she connected “to the defiance and the edginess” of Witch’s music.
“To have traditional music and infuse it with rock, that’s what I do with hip-hop,” she added.
She collaborated with Witch on a track from her 2022 album “As Above, So Below” and appears on one of the band’s new songs.
“We have the original gear from those records and the same sound engineer,” said Jacco Gardner, the band’s current bassist, who hails from the Netherlands.
