HARRY MWALE EXPERIENCE WITH GREG MIYANDA

aka 'OSAYE'.  Very good album, robust.  

AMANAZ - DIFFERENT PRESSING AND MIX

Essential album.  There are two known pressings on ZMPL.  Shadoks did a great job with one of the pressings.  The other pressing has a ton of reverb all over.  Here are some A/B samples.  Check out the explosion or gunshot sound in the last clip around 1;05

NGOZI FAMILY BAND - DAY OF JUDGEMENT

ZMPL 17

Killer album.  Reissue coming soon from NOWAGAIN.  If you like this clip, you'll like the record.

Side A is really something special.

The one that started the Zambia Music Parlour imprint.  Coming in the future from Mastertape via Strawberry Rain.

Welcome to Zamrock

I operate a label called Strawberry Rain Music based in Canada.  This blog is going to be a way to share information, albums, and sound clips from the Zamrock Period, which took place in Zambia in the 1970's and 80's.  There are a few labels including my own, Now Again and Shadoks that have been re-releasing this hard to find music, so please support these labels if or when you take a liking to something.  I will not be sharing album downloads on this blog, but you will be able to hear some incredibly rare and killer music.  You should also take note of ZAMROCK.ORG, another good site for resources surrounding the Zamrock period.  Feel free to comment or contact me!
