We Intend to Cause Havoc, the band name chosen by frontman Emmanuel “Jagari” Chanda and his mates, was a claim to distinction in a highly competitive music scene in Zambia’s post-independence rush — and a statement of impact from these champions of Zamrock that still lands, but differently.

WITCH, as they’re known, became a sensation in Zambia and southeastern Africa in the 1970s and 1980s before their breakup and a long hibernation that is now very much over. WITCH are touring again and being celebrated in a documentary film, and the Zamrock movement has re-emerged in reissues and compilations such as 2017’s “Welcome to Zamrock” to capture new generations of music fans globally. “To my amazement, we have young people in their 20s and 30s who are now following this music,” WITCH’s Patrick Mwondela tells PureHoney in an interview. “It’s mind-blowing, really.” ...

W.I.T.C.H. (We Intend To Cause Havoc) were the biggest rock band in Zambia in the 1970s and spearheaded a new genre dubbed Zamrock, fusing influences that ranged from the Rolling Stones to Black Sabbath and James Brown and mixing them with traditional African rhythms and bush village songs. At the peak of their popularity, the band often needed police to keep fans at bay while their lead singer Jagari - whose name is an Africanisation of Mick Jagger’s - riled up crowds by stage diving from balconies and dancing manically as the WITCH’s blend of psychedelic rock and African rhythms permeated the surrounding atmosphere.
Jagari is the charismatic sole surviving original member of the band. As Zambia’s economy stagnated and the country buckled under the AIDS crisis, WITCH fell apart. Jagari retreated to a life of quasi-anonymity as a university music professor before being wrongfully arrested during Zambia’s toughest hour. Now a man in his 60s, he spends his time mining gemstones hoping to strike it rich, until very recently the band being just a nostalgic memory of his youth.
Largely unknown outside of their home country, WITCH finally got the exposure they deserved when Now Again Records reissued their entire discography in 2012. This allowed Jagari to play outside Africa for the first time and for a new generation of fans to discover his music. In 2016 he began a collaboration with Dutch musicians Jacco Gardner and Nic Mauskoviç, and together with them, in September 2017 WITCH headed out on its extremely successful first-ever European Tour. In the Fall of 2019, WITCH embarked on their first North American tour. They return to the states including this show at The Drake on 10/9 following the screening of the documentary at the Amherst Cinema on 9/7.
