Witch

Zambian psychedelic rock band

Witch was a Zamrock band that formed in the 1970s in Zambia. The band's name is an acronym for "We Intend To Cause Havoc," which reflects their ambition to shake up the music scene with their unique blend of rock, psychedelic, and African rhythms. Witch became one of the most popular and influential bands in Zambia and helped to define the Zamrock genre, which combined traditional African music with psychedelic rock and funk. The band's career spanned several albums, with "Introduction" and "Lazy Bones!!" being among their most notable works. They enjoyed local success and have since gained a cult following internationally, particularly among collectors and enthusiasts of African rock music. The band's sound was characterized by catchy melodies, heavy guitar riffs, and socially conscious lyrics. Despite facing various challenges, including economic difficulties within Zambia and changes in the music industry, Witch's music has endured over time and continues to be celebrated for its innovation and cultural impact.
