W 1974 roku największe gwiazdy amerykańskiego soulu i funku (wśród nich m.in. James Brown, B.B. King i Celia Cruz) połączyły siły by zagrać trwający trzy wieczory koncert w stolicy Zairu - Kinszasie. Na pomysł stworzenia takiego festiwalu muzycznego (znanego jako "Zair 74") wpadli Hugh Masekela i Stewart Levine. Udało im się przekonać Dona Kinga, organizatora walk bokserskich, by koncerty połączyć z legendarną walką Muhammada Alego z Georgem Foremanem. Zainspirowani powrotem do swych afrykańskich korzeni oraz entuzjazmem tamtejszej publiczności muzycy, wówczas u szczytu swoich karier, zagrali w Kinszasie koncert życia, który okazał się jednym z największych wydarzeń muzyki popularnej XX wieku. Artyści, legendarni bokserzy, Kinszasa w 1974 roku i sam koncert gwiazd czarnej muzyki - to esencja filmu "Soul Power". .--opis z www_filmstore_pl-->
Soul Power is a vérité documentary compiled entirely from footage shot in 1974 of the astonishing back-to-Africa 3-day music festival Zaire 74, held in Kinshasa ahead of the biggest boxing event of all time: the Muhammad AliGeorge Foreman Rumble in the Jungle. Directed by Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, editor of Leon Gasts Oscar(r)-winning (Best Documentary) When We Were Kings, and sourced from the same archival pool, Soul Power features a stunning line-up of African and African-diaspora musicians.;Alongside Alis wit and wisdom, vibrant street scenes of downtown Kinshasa, and fly-on-the-wall footage of the festivals staging, rehearsals, and jams, the three nights of concerts (lensed by Albert Maysles and a host of other legendary cameramen) offer electrifying performances by James Brown, B.B. King, Bill Withers, Sister Sledge, Miriam Makeba, The Spinners, Big Black, The Crusaders, Celia Cruz, and many more.;The concert has achieved mythological significance and only now, after years of painstaking restoration legal wrangling prevented an edit and release at the time of filming does Soul Power join the pantheon of concert film classics. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Soul Power for home viewing in the UK for the very first time.
In 1974, the most celebrated American R&B acts of the time came together with the most renowned musical groups in Southern Africa for a 12-hour, three-night long concert held in Kinshasa, Zaire. The pipe dream of musician Hugh Masekela and producer Stewart Levine, this music festival became a reality when they convinced boxing promoter Don King to combine the event with The Rumble in the Jungle, the epic fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, previously chronicled in the Academy Award winning documentary When We Were Kings. Soul Power is a verité documentary, entirely composed of footage shot in 1974 at the legendary music festival (dubbed Zaire 74). It shows the experiences and performances of such musical luminaries as James Brown, BB King, Bill Withers, Celia Cruz, Miriam Makeba, among a host of others. At the peak of their talents and the height of their careers, these artists were inspired by this return to their African roots, as well as the enthusiasm of the Zairian audience, to give the performances of their lives. The concert has achieved mythological significance as the definitive Africa(n)-American musical event of the 20th Century. Soul Power has been crafted from the extensive footage which remained after the making of When We Were Kings, which famously documented the epic title fight, but only briefly touched upon the Zaire 74 music festival. This footage has remained vaulted for the past 35 years, unused, unseen, until now. Lensed primarily by celebrated cinematographers Albert Maysles (GIMME SHELTER, GREY GARDENS), Paul Goldsmith (RUST NEVER SLEEPS), Kevin Keating (HARLAN COUNTY USA), and Roderick Young (WATTSTAX), Soul Power finally provides todays audience the opportunity to experience this historic musical event in all of its magnificent, filmed glory, restored in HD and with incredible sound quality. An unbridled musical journey for the ages. ********Special edition including: -- New high-definition transfer of the film -- Exclusive video interview with the director, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte -- 30 minutes of deleted behind-the-scenes footage -- Extra concert performances by James Brown, Sister Sledge, the Pointer Sisters, and others -- Optional SDH subtitles for the hard of hearing -- 40-page full-colour booklet featuring archival publicity stills, a new essay Kodwo Eshun (More Brilliant Than the Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction), and a compilation of reminiscences by the Zaire 74 organisers and performers
