In what is now Zimbabwe, young people created a rock and roll counterculture that drew inspiration from hippie ideals and the sounds of Hendrix and Deep Purple. The kids in the scene called their music “heavy,” because they could feel its impact, and it resonated from Zambia to Nigeria. Wells Fargo was at the forefront of the scene, and the title track of this album, ‘Watch Out’, was the anthem of the counterculture. Watch Out!,” is a curated collection of songs intertwining rock and funk with Zimbabwean folkloric melodies, taken from the band 45s discography, never available outside of Zimbabwe at the time the singles were originally released.
