We Intend To Cause Havoc (WITCH) at Beachland Ballroom

Zamrock, the Afro-rock genre that swept southern Africa in the 1970s, was born in the Copperbelt region of northern Zambia, and WITCH was at the center of it all. In the beginning, lead singer Emmanuel ‘Jagari’ Chanda and the band looked for a name to match edgy rock sounds coming from Europe and America. WITCH started making music in 1975 in Zambia at a times where things were changing in Africa. They mixed psychedelic jam rock with the sounds of Zambia. I saw them play live the summer before Covid hit and they were mind-blowingly good. There is even a film made about the band that I will include in this post. I really recommend you attend this show. Meet in the bar area at 8 pm.
