Interest for Zamrock rose in the 2010s in the West, thanks to the internet and crate-digging producers as Los Angeles-based Now-Again Records re-released several albums of WITCH and other Zamrock artists.
Following their comeback, WITCH - which stands for We Intend To Cause Havoc - are now introducing their new album "Zango" with concerts in the United States and Europe.
"It's a fusion of traditional music, African music, funk, blues, jazz - it's a fusion of many genres," Chanda said.
"Can this thing grow to a level where when someone comes to Zambia, says where can I listen to Zamrock?
