Chrissy zebby tembo my ancestors full#Full of wild fuzz guitars, African beats and extra-cool vocals, his first record has been described as easily one of the best African psychedelic rock albums ever recorded! Sang in English, this music is so raw, rough and full of the darkest, organic psych rock you’ll hear!! Original albums on Chris Edition label are rare as gold dust too!! Active in the mid 70’s, Tembo released two albums, for which My Ancestors was his 1976 debut. There are a few artists that are generally credited as the creators of this genre and these include, Rikki Ililonga and his band, Musi-O-Tunya, WITCH, The Peace, Amanaz, Paul Ngozi and his Ngozi Family and (today’s artist) Chrissy “Zebby” Tembo,Ĭhrissy Zebby Tembo is the drummer of the Ngozi family. Couple this with traditional African rhythms and out came this new breed of sound-beast! What a gorgeous fusion!!! With the rawness of Jimi Hendrix and James Brown, the heavy repetitive riff-based melodies of bands such as Black Sabbath, the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple and Cream, Zamrock had a wealth of influences to draw upon. Now known as Zamrock, this genre of music emerged in Zambia in the 1970’s and is the product of the combined sounds of traditional African music and psych-rock and funk. Throughout the late 60’s/early 70’s when afrobeat and highlife was a staple part of the African music scene, something different was emerging and bubbling away under the surface. Over-ridden fuzz guitars, pop melodies and even a Black Sabbathesque sounding song. A tough rock and roll masterpiece like no other. “It could be argued that this is one of the greatest rock n’ roll records of all time! Straight from Zambia, we have “ My Ancestors”.
