During the punk rock boom of the late 1970s, South African bands like Wild Youth[?] gained a cult following, focused in Durban[?]. In the 1980s, Johnny Clegg and Juluka[?] helped fuse rock and roll with native Zulu folk musics. The same decade saw a resurgence in rock and roll bands like The Helicopters[?], Petit Cheval[?], Sterling and Tellinger[?]. The next decade brought popular attention on alternative rock bands like The Usual[?] and Scooter's Union[?].
