Paul Ngozi (1949–1989), born Paul Dobson Nyirongo, was a
Zambian musician who was prominent in the
Zambian music scene in the 1970s and 1980s. He first became popular as the band leader of the Ngozi Family, a top[2] local rock group which was one of the first groups to have its music classified as
Zamrock.[3][4]
He earned his place as a ‘sharp’ social commentator because the themes of his music were usually very close to society’s own lives and therefore easy to relate to.
