W.I.T.C.H., the band responsible for pioneering zamrock, returned to the stage during Le Guess Who? 2023 following the release of their new album 'Zango', their first in nearly four decades. On stage, they were joined by a.o. Jacco Gardner, Michael Rault and Nico Mauskoviç.

About
Once upon a time, W.I.T.C.H. ruled Zambia. In the seventies, the band responsible for pioneering 'zamrock' often needed police to control the crowds riled up by lead singer Jagari (whose name is an Africanisation of Mick Jagger's). As the AIDS crisis destroyed the country’s flourishing music scene, W.I.T.C.H. fell apart. The iconic ensemble is survived by Jagari, who, after decades in obscurity, was brought back into the public eye following a discography reissue by Now Again Records.

Recorded at TivoliVredenburg’s Ronda on Thursday, 9 November 2023.

Elalar

Karanlık içinde uyandığım günün ortasında
İçimi aydınlattı

Beni aldı, beni sardı
Beni yaktı elalar

Kalabalık içinde, buldum yanıbaşımda
Bana baktı, derinine çağırdı

Beni aldı, beni sardı
Beni yaktı elalar
