Zambian rapper and singer Sampa the Great explores her musical heritage with her third studio album, “Nu Zamrock,” released on October 30, 2026. The 16-track project draws inspiration from Zambia’s legendary Zamrock movement, blending psychedelic rock, funk, traditional Zambian sounds, soul, and contemporary hip-hop.
The album features guest appearances from Sia, KAMAUU, Mwanjé, and Nicole Gumbe. Tracks such as “Simon Says,” “Can’t Hold Us,” “Location,” and “Supernova” highlight Sampa’s creative approach to bringing Zamrock’s rebellious spirit into modern music.
The project also pays tribute to her family connection to the genre through her uncle, George Kunda, a founding member of the iconic band WITCH.
