Dambala was an English roots reggae group that were formedthe late summer of 1975 in West Hampstead by Gus Anyia and Alvin Christie. Theyreleased their first record in 1978, the disco Zimbabwe, a co-production withDennis Bovell and Jimmy Lindsay. The disco was such a success that it reached#4 in the Black Echoes and Jazz Review 12" charts in June 1978. The groupwas somewhat unique in that not a single member was Jamaican, something thatwasn't as accepted at the time.
