About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Foreign
- Description: Country, township jazz, and pop hits from the height of Zambia's freedom movement.Vocalist, guitarist, and bandleader Alick Nkhata moved effortlessly between lonesome country slide, big band pop, and air-tight vocal harmonies, all with roots in Bemba and other African traditional songs and rhythms. It's a dizzying, inclusive, expansive blend from an artist and music archivist who became the voice of his nation's fight for freedom. The lyrics and music represent the times - lonesome country laments like InchNafwaya FwayaInch and InchFosta KayiInch drift along the railways to urban centers and copper mines. InchNalikwebele Sonka (I Told You Sonka)Inch, sung in Inchdeep-BembaInch pairs honey-soaked yodels with a warning about the downward spiral of unemployment in townships, while Mayo Na Bwalya' (Mother of Bwalya) is a mother's plea to a traditional songbird for guidance of her wayward son. Songs like InchShalapo,Inch InchKalindawalo Na Mfumwa,Inch and his biggest hit, InchImbote,Inch infuse piano, big band horns, and even early electronic instruments into stunning syncretic pop masterpieces. Despite Nkhata's role in Zambian independence and his influence on future generations of African artists, this LP is the first time his music is being reissued on vinyl. We're honored to work closely with Alick Nkhata's family, as well as with collectors around the world who provided some of the rare recordings. Music archivist, researcher, and NTS host Jamal Khadar wrote in-depth liner notes spanning the history of Zambian independence, and noted Zambian author and translator Ellen Banda-Aaku provides careful and deeply researched lyric translations. On high-quality black vinyl with deluxe 12-page booklet with unpublished photos, lyrics, translations, and liner notes written by NTS radio host Jamal Khadar. Album Tracks 1. Nafwaya Fwaya 2. Kalindawlo Ni Mfumu 3. Elena 4.
