I was waching the other day a documentary a bout a rock moviment called Zanrock, very common in Zambia in the 70s. They would perform for great crowds and press discs in South Africa.

Unfourtunaly civil wars, the conflit in Rodhesia, and the lifestyle of Sex drugs and rock and roll in a country ravaged by AIDS, killed a lot of musicians destroyed the movement. A guy started colleccting old records and released on spotify.

of the bands, theres a great one called Witch that reminds me a lot of bands like Steppenwolf and Black Sabath.

Do you remember the name of the docu? I ended up in a small Zamrock clickhole when Ted Lasso used this track in an episode outro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjUOYLJ8IYI but didn't get much further than wikipedia and a couple of google results.

Its been some years now. I think I arrived at the youtube video through a link here in Hacker news.

I did not found the original documentary, but found this playlist in youtube with a mini doc anda few Zanrock albuns.

Thanks, it looks like some other people found perhaps a different one in the sibling comments. It's interesting it seems to be transmitted among the unfamiliar via youtube serendipity and existing Zamrock enjoyers sneaking it into TV shows.

Same thing happened to me when Poker Face used Ngozi Family for an outro:

If you find the documentary, let me know! All I know, besides the bands (also, that "We Intend To Cause Havoc (W.I.T.C.H.)" is one of the greatest band names of all time), is that at one point they all played their shows in lock-in overnight parties because of curfew rules.
