ZAM was founded in 1979 as the ''Zambia Union of Musicians'' (ZUM). When the 1994 [[National Arts Council Act 31]] came into force, it became registered as an arts association and it's name changed. It became a requirement for ZAM, as an Arts Association, to be registered with the [[National Arts Council]] (NAC) in accordance with Part II of the Statutory Instrument No. 129 of 1995.
