Around The World in 80 Tunes : Zambia. While many other African nations’ music scenes have been well documented and distributed in Western music media, the Southern African state of Zambia doesn’t get much coverage. Formerly known as Northern Rhodesia, Zambia was a British colony and in the early 1970s gave rise to the Zam-Rock scene, influenced by James Brown style funk and Jimi Hendrix tinged psychedelia. One of the groups at the forefront of the scene was Witch. Bandleader Emmanuel 'Jagari' Chanda talks about the movement and paints a picture of Zambia at the time. These days, Zambian youth soak up the auto-tuned, ring-tone rap influences of North America – producing a unique take on African hip hop and R&B. The 'first lady' of Zambian hip hop Cynthia Kayula Bwalya, known as 'Kay', speaks about the scene, and gives her perspective on life in the industry and in Zambia.
