Soul power is fun and beautiful to watch.» INDIEWIRE «Originally planned to coincide with the Ali-Foreman Rumble in the Jungle, the concert was, as “Soul Power” makes clear, a logistical nightmare and an artistic triumph…And there are also wonderful contrasts and startling shifts of tone. There is a transcendent vitality of “Soul Power”.» THE NEW YORK TIMES «The performances are exhilarating.» EYEWEEKLY «Jeffrey Levy-Hinte recognized that another film was waiting to be made. With “Soul Power”, he finally brings this work to fruition. None of the footage has ever been seen…the film plays like a time capsule SPOUT There’s an awful lot to like about this infectious celebration of a remarkable event featuring some superb, larger-than-life performers at the top of their game-» HOLLYWOOD REPORTER «Jeffrey Levy-Hinte has brought the disparate and unedited film of Zaire ‘74 together into one coherent form for the first time.» LOVE FILM «An epic trip back to 1974.» THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE «Muhammad Ali and George Foreman's 1974 fight in Kinshasa—the "Rumble in the Jungle"—was an instant legend, but no less momentous was the music festival that accompanied it. A forceful and exuberant declaration of ethnic empowerment, Zaïre 74 brought together some of the best African-American and native African soul musicians—Soul Brother Number One, James Brown, B.B. King, Bill Withers, Miriam Makeba, Celia Cruz, The Crusaders, Sister Sledge, and others—for three days of electrifying, at times explosive performances.» Tribeca Festival |
