CONTEXT
WITCH (short for We Intend To Cause Havoc) is a pioneering psychedelic rock band from Zambia and one of the most influential acts of the 1970s Zamrock movement. Blending Western rock and funk with African rhythms, the group became a symbol of post-independence creativity in Southern Africa and helped define Zambia’s musical identity.
