"My Ancestors,"the 1974 album by Zambian guitarist, Chrissy Zebby Tembo. Fuzzed-out wah wah psych had obviously made it's way to Africa by 1974 and Chrissy Zebby Tembo was at the forefront of the scene. If you happen to own the great "Love, Peace & Poetry: African Psychedelic Music" compilation, you may remember Chrissy Zebby Tembo's instrumental "Oh Yeh Yeh", which is also featured on this album. The sun shines all over the 9 songs here, and it's hard not to smile when Chrissy's kooky, relaxed vocals come in. The album has a warmth and closeness that make it absolutely infatuating.

Afro-psychedelic rock made in Zambia, early 1970s!!! Chrissy "Zebby" Tembo and his group Ngozi Family deliver a brutal set of fuzzed to the max psychedelic rock, with a slight African feel and English vocals. First time on CD, limited 500 copies papersleeve edition with fantastic remastered sound.

This is the first (and best) of many LPs by Zebby, originally released in 1974. Zambian records from this period are often characterized by their prodigious use of fuzz guitar.

The back of the LP says : "Chrissy Zebby Tembo was born in Chingola 27 years ago. He started his musical career as a drummer for the Scorpions, who became three years before and are now the Ngozi family. And now Chrissy has recorded this solo album.." Tommy Mwale on bass and Paul Ngozi on guitar. A Chris Edition Production.
