Ben Phiri (Times of Zambia):
A weekend search at Lusaka’s Kilimanjaro
Night Club by music promoter Edward Khuzwayo and his producer David
Nyati during the 1970s revealed massive talent in the form of a youthful
band calling itself the 5 Revolutions. The band was crazy when it came
to stage gimmicks, which went well with the fashion of those days when
local musicians sported Afro hairstyles with high-heeled shoes, tight
bell-bottomed trousers and balloon shirts. This was the style of the 5
Revolutions, whose Zamrock sound blended heavy rock from foreign bands
with Afrobeat pieces from Osibisa and Nigeria’s Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Leonard Koloko (Zambia Music Legends):
These five lads from Ndola swept
teenagers off their feet with their bubblegum pop hits in the mid-70s.
They were a splinter from the Boy Friends of the era of imitation.
Managed by Zambia Music Parlour, they churned out songs that youths
easily identified with because of messages that touched on adolescent
social issues such as girl-boy relationships, the generation gap and
drug abuse.
