zimbabwe

• Pioneering Afro-rock
• Features Jade Warrior
• Finally available on LP again
• Includes background notes

Led by South African saxophonist Dudu Pukwana, Assagai spearheaded the UK’s so-called ‘Afro-rock’ movement in the early 70s. The lost classic Zimbabwe is their second and last album, and originally appeared in the UK only in 1971. Featuring guest appearances from Jade Warrior (who also contribute some songs), it’s an extremely funky blast from start to finish.
