Makela Space 10: Welcome to Zamrock w/ Ba Taonga Julia Kaunda-Kaseka
Tracing Zambia's 1970s rock revolution — fuzz guitars and blues-rock fused with Bemba and Nyanja rhythms into a sound the West couldn't claim. Opening tracks: Five Revolutions' "Fwe Bena Zambia" and Musi-O-Tunya's title track, reclaiming the Zambezi falls' own name. Joining us: Ba Taonga Julia Kaunda-Kaseka of Modzi Arts and the Zamrock Museum, who has no plans to ever leave Africa. Makela Space reaches for "diaspora" — she doesn't, and we sit inside that tension in this episode of Makela Space. Tracks:
