+Ras Willie was born William Wamudambo Mbewe in 1970 in [[Kabwe]]. He was born in a family of musicians. His father is said to have been playing music to the local community during beer parties and his brother Chris was part of the [[WITCH]] band in the [[Zamrock]] era. In the mid 1980s he changed his name to ''Ras Willie'' after listening to the sounds of Burning Spear, Israel Vibration and Bunny Wailer, and ultimately embracing Rastafarianism.
 He later left [[Mungwi Technical High School]] in [[Northern Province]] and joined the WITCH as their Road Manager. When his brother left for Botswana, he too followed suit, and together with [[Alex Kunda]] of the [[Mosi-Oa-Tunya Band]], they formed the [[Afro Sunshine Band]].
