Chrissy Zebby Tembo - My Ancestors LP xx2020 The core recording set upOriginally released in 1976, My Ancestors is one of the greatest releases from Zambias Zamrock scene. The album travels the darker undercurrents of 70s rock and roll, warping and heightening the influences of Jimi, the Stones, the Beatles, Black Sabbath, and James Brown. 27 year old Chrissy Zebby Tembo provided drums and vocals while Paul Ngozi, one of the chief architects of the Zambian rock sound, was responsible for the aggressive guitar leads.
