Celia Cruz And The Fania All Stars In Africa
Shot by Oscar-winner Leon Gast, this is the Godmother of Salsa's 1974 performance in front of 80,000 fans in Zaire, in conjunction with the Rumble in the Jungle, the famous boxing match between Mohammed Ali and George Foreman. Featuring footage from the excellent documentary of that event, WHEN WE WERE KINGS, this programme is a vivid document of an amazing three-day festival of salsa that introduced Latin music to African audiences and became one of the most legendary performances in salsa history. Features Celia Cruz playing with some of the hottest Latin musicians, such as Ray Barretto, Santos Colon, Cheo Feliciano, Larry Harlow, Pupi Lagarretta, Hector Lavoe, Nicky Marrero, Ismael Miranda, Ismael Quintana, Roberto Roena, Jorge Santana, Yomo Toro, and Bobby Valentino.
