Zamrock thrived for only a few years in the mid-70s, but it's bands produced some incredibly catchy rock anthems. Taking influence from a diverse range of sounds like Jimi Hendrix, The Velvet Underground, afrobeat and Zambian folk, Zamrock is an incredibly rich and fun genre to sink your teeth into.
