Soul Power

“Soul Power... plunges into the festival offstage and on, incorporating equipment wrangles and dressing-room encounters — like Sister Sledge teaching African girls how to dance the Bump, direct from Philadelphia — along with Brown showing off his quick footwork and splits. It is vérité with minimal explanation and a whirl of sun-drenched color and rhythm.”

Soul Power

Working from more than twelve hours of footage, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte has reconstructed a famous concert given in Kinshasa as a prelude to the Muhammad Ali-George Foreman “Rumble in the Jungle” of 1974. The performers include James Brown, Miriam Makeba, B.B. King and Celia Cruz. “An extravagantly entertainning documentary.” (A.O. Scott, New York Times)
