A Zulu and African bands (6)

I believe the answer is:

luanda

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a zulu and african bands' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'zulu and african bands' is the wordplay.
'bands' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer forms a stripe in the letters).
'LUANDA' can be found hidden inside 'zulu and african'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for luanda that I've seen is " Capital of Angola; landau (anag.)".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
