The wait is over! Following the success of Volume 1, which has already gathered over 20,000 views in the last 107 days, we’re excited to release Volume 2 of 1960s Zambian Instrumental Vibes – Zambezi Calling.
This collection takes you on another nostalgic journey through the soundscape of Zambia’s golden era of music — the 1960s, a period when local rhythms began to blend with global influences, creating the foundation of today’s Zambian sound.
The album features 16 carefully crafted tracks, each inspired by authentic Zambian culture, languages, and storytelling traditions. These instrumentals are perfect for those who love relaxing, upbeat, and culturally rich music.
