Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Riding hot on the heels of her performance at Glastonbury 2022, Sampa The Great has dropped an alluring new single titled \u2018Never Forget\u2019 \u2013 for which she linked up with fellow Zambian artists Chef 187, Tio Nason and Mwanj\u00e9 \u2013 and revealed the details for her forthcoming second album.<\/p>\n

In a press release, Sampa described \u2018Never Forget\u2019 as \u201can ode to Zamrock music, a genre born in the \u201970s combining traditional Zambian music and psychedelic rock\u201d. More specifically, the song was inspired by music focused on the kalindula, a traditional style of bass guitar that features prominently on \u2018Never Forget\u2019.<\/p>\n

Expounding on how the song honours Zamrock and the kalindula, Sampa continued: \u201cThis tribute was inspired by the band WITCH and their lead singer, Mr Jagari Chanda, who has become one of my musical mentors. I discovered Zamrock later in my life and was surprised that this music was known globally, yet not fully celebrated and acknowledged in Zambia today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hit home for me as I felt similarities in my own journey, having had my career take off outside my birth country. I thought it was fitting to pay homage to those who came before me and merge past, present and future through music and imagery; passing the baton from one generation to the next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Never Forget\u2019 arrives alongside a cinematic video helmed by directors Rharha Nembhard, Imraan Christian and Furmaan Ahmed (the former two of whom also directed the video for Sampa\u2019s last single, the Denzel Curry-assisted \u2018Lane\u2019). It intersperses footage of Sampa and her collaborators performing with archival clips of Zambian life in the 1970s.<\/p>\n
