Mashabe Band - Intolila ‐ 1985 - (Zambian Folk/Kalindula)

Intolila is a breezy melanholic track by the Zambian band Mashabe Band. The track is featured on their debut album from 1984 called: Mashabe Volume One released on the Zambian Music Parlour label.

The Mashabe Band were once one of the prime Zambian Kalindula talents out there, led by songwriter James Chisenga. Deeply Afrocentric with a name that refers to mystical spirits, the Mashabe Band often performed in traditional dress with body paint. Of the band’s three albums and numerous singles issued by ZMPL, Mandela from 1987, named to honour the political prisoner who would go on to lead South Africa’s first democratic administration in 1994, is the group’s most compelling point of entry and an excellent primer for the Kalindula style as a whole.

ZMPL (Zambia Music Parlour Limited) was Zambia's most prolific independent record label during the 1970s and 1980s, producing the country's most treasured catalogue of Zamrock and Kalindula recordings.
