Vinyl, 1 LP

Zambian guitarist Paul Nzogi’s debut album from 1976, featuring Chrissy Zebby Tembo. His debut, issued under the name Ngozi Family, is his essential masterwork: an important release not just in the Zamrock genre, but in the global rock canon. Day of Judgement is an introduction to the most intense, raw and inimitable golden era Zamrock recorded, as it paved the way for a dozen Paul Ngozi and Ngozi Family releases (the most famous being drummer Chrissy Zebby Tembo’s My Ancestors) that straddled the line between funk and punk, of driving hard rock and Zambian folk melodies and rhythms.

Now-Again has been reissuing the essential records from the Zamrock scene since 2010. Day of Judgement (1976) is part of an extensive campaign centered around Paul Ngozi and his band.
