At its root, Zamrock melded fuzz-toned psychedelia, chugging garage rock and roiling funk with a broad mix of African cadences and beats.... enlivening a scene that included bands like Musi O Tunya, Amanaz and the Ngozi Family.”\u003c\/em\u003e — The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZamrock was a bona-fide rock scene, with albums released through independent labels based in Zambia.
