In 1974, music producers, Hugh Masekela and Stewart Levine worked with the boxing promoter, Don King, to create a music festival in Africa to run concurrently with his championship boxing match he arranged with Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, aka "The Rumble in the Jungle," in Kinshasa, Zaire. However, due to an unforeseen delay due to Foreman injuring himself in training, it was decided that the music festival must still go on as scheduled. This film covers the preparation of that festival with both stage construction and the arrival of the participating musicians. When all is ready, the people of Zaire got to experience a musical event that Africa had never seen before with great African-American and local artists performing with verve and purpose, with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, just the biggest star of this musical extravaganza.
Leave your thoughts about Soul Power.
| Philadelphia InquirerDan DeLucaIt packs the emotional and historical power of a heady 'family gathering' celebration of African and, to use the term then in fashion, Afro-American pride. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe well-preserved (or well-restored) footage, and the simple joy of the artists, easily put any misgivings in the shade. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelMichele KennerWatching Soul Power is like flipping through Polaroids of that era. The color is a little washed out and everyone looks amazingly young. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Soul Power leaves you wanting more, and not in a good way. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayExplodes in a burst of energy, musical chops and an eerie political prescience that makes it feel like something beamed from some past-is-future time warp. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghSoul Power is the indispensable companion film to Leon Gast's thrilling 1996 documentary When We Were Kings. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerLevy-Hinte has said that a great deal more concert footage exists. I can't wait for the expanded version DVD. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelA thrilling time machine that lets you travel to Zaire in 1974 to see legendary performers bringing it all back home. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineThe performances that Soul Power captures are so captivating, so exciting, that it holds its own...I defy anyone to sit still through this infectiously funky doc. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceSoul Power is a window into a time when anything seemed possible. |
