From north to south, Zambia lies geographically
between Congo and Zimbabwe, and in many ways
musicologically as well. When you think about it
that way, Zambian music just has to be interesting!
All three countries produced wonderful but
different music played on electric instruments
during the eighties, but whereas the styles from
Zaire and Zimbabwe are well known in the West, the
music produced in Zambia during these years is
still relatively unknown. Musically there is no good
reason for this — as the wonderful tracks in this
compliation show. Zambia had always had a vibrant
and diversified music scene and during the eighties
yet another new musical era emerged — the
kalindula years.
