CHRISTOPHE LEMAIRE PRESENTS - CD CAN'T YOU HEAR ME

Popis - CAN'T YOU HEAR ME:
'AFRICAN NUGGETS AND GARAGE ROCK FROM NIGERIA, ZAMBIA &
ZIMBABWE' - The title 'Can't You Hear Me?' comes from a track
by charismatic Zamrock icon Paul Ngozi. Ngozi's title track
sets the tone for a 17-song selection with rebellious
undertones, riddled by an infectious groove, the forsaken
writing about a forgotten chapter in the history of music.
Ngozi, Witch, Chrissy Zebby Tembo, Amanaz, Wells Fargo, Eye Q
and The Funkees represent a generation fighting for its
freedom, armed with fuzz guitars. They played in Fela's kingly
shadow, were influenced by Hendrix's psychedelic solos,
Jefferson Airplane's penetrating chords and Cream's repetitive
melodies. This generation of African (psych-)rockers
reassembled and reinterpreted the music of their colonial
oppressors with incredible energy, and without nods whatever
hymn or flag.
