Z for Zafra pulls from all reaches of the pop spectrum the way only disco has room for, the album is charged with Philly soul vocal harmonies, disco hooks, funky bass lines, dreamy synthesizer boogie, fuzzy guitar solos, and a blues/dub/reggae influence adding the strophic accent to the catchy composition of some of the choruses

Like many during that period, Zafra were totally committed to branching out into their own musical narrative, something that is wholly evident in their short but overly excellent discography. The band was a strictly family affair, consisting of five brothers Frank, Leslie, Gary, Mario and Wes Zafra, and together they formed an extremely tight and cohesive musical unit that much like somewhat contemporaries the Isley Brothers showcased the dexterity and depth of musicality that the family had in their armory.

The group would ultimately release just one LP and a small selection of singles that spanned from their initial period of recording in the late 70s through to some very interesting house numbers during the dawn of the 90s, making them stand out as one of the few funk disco groups to make that transition into the electronic music genre.
