Catalog Number: NA5279-LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 659457527976 Anthology of Zamrock Musician Mike Nyoni's Funky, Psych-Rock, and Folkloric 1970s Recordings Zambian guitarist and singer/songwriter Mike Nyoni's music is considered Zamrock because he came of age during the country's rock revolution. He preferred wah-wah to fuzz guitar and James Brown to Jimi Hendrix. His 70s recordings, often politically charged and ranging from despondent to exuberant, are among the funkiest on the African continent. He was also one of the few Zamrock musicians to see his music contemporaneously issued in Europe. This anthology collates works from his three 70s LPs: his first with the Born Free band, and his two solo albums, "Kawalala" and "I Can't Understand You." It presents a singular Zambian musician on par with celebrated artists Rikki Ililonga, Keith Mlevhu, and Paul Ngozi.
