Crate Digging for the Forgotten Sound of Zambia’s Rock Revolution

quote [ In the copper-mined heart of late 1960s Zambia, a new sound was brewing — raw, electrifying, and entirely unexpected, channeled the sounds of Hendrix, Sabbath, and Cream through the lens of life in a newly independent African nation. It was called Zamrock, a genre that fused the fuzzed-out guitars and rebellious spirit of Western psychedelic rock with traditional African rhythms and post-colonial urgency. ]

The article is great but oddly interrupted by line breaks as if lifted from a PDF. Seems to be original material though.

Anyhow, this mentions a documentary from 4 years ago that links to it's trailer in a similar article:
