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 verit'' 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 today's audience the opportunity to experience this historic musical event in all of its magnificent filmed glory restored with incredible sound quality.
