An ambitious salute to Zamrock, 'Never Forget' sees Zambian born Sampa return to her roots literally and figuratively (she left Australia for Zambia at the start of the pandemic) with a fiercely proud sprawling, collaborative track that mixes hip hop with the sounds of Zambia, past and present.
A collaboration between Sampa, her sister and singer Mwanjé, their cousin singer/songwriter, designer and director Tio Nason and Zambian hip hop artist Chef 187, the result is an incredibly moving and powerful track than transcends genre and instead becomes a cross between a tribute and a statement of intent. It has an incredibly moving sense of dignity and power that is only enhanced by its evocative and atmospheric video.
