Discussion
In the New York Times article " Music and Musicians Still Echo 35 Years Later" author A. O. Scott talks about the documentary film " Soul Power" directed by Jeffrey Levy-Hinte. It was a film editor in 1995 for “When We Were Kings,” the Oscar-winning documentary directed by Leon Gast about 1974 heavyweight world championship between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Kinshasa, the capital of Zaire (now Congo). In three days musical festival called the Zaire ’74 James Brown, Celia Cruz and the Fania All-Stars, B. B. King, Miriam Makeba , the Spinners and Bill Withers performed. In this journal you can also would able to see trailer and clip of " Soul Power" and of course the picture.
James Brown, the singer, song writer, bandleader, and dancer who sold millions of records in his career which lasted half a century. He regularly topped the rhythm-and-blues charts, although he never had a No. 1 pop hit in the 1960s and the 1970s. James Brown at Zaire singing to an African audience, “Say It Loud — I’m Black and I’m Proud.” This music innovator died of congestive heart failure in Atlanta at the age of 73
Miriam Makeba was a activist, and the South African music quin, music princess, widely known as " Mama Africa". She was a prominent opponent of apartheid. Mandela conveys, “She was South Africa’s first lady of song and so richly deserved the title of Mama Afrika. She was a mother to our struggle and to the young nation of ours.” Her music inspired a powerful sense of hope in all of us. Ms. Makeba’s musical career spanned five decades. This music legend left us at the age of 76 cause of cardiac arrest.
Evaluation
I used New York Times and couple of National Public Radio's interviews as my cite. Cites are really credible and effective. Readers won't be disappoint to read the discussion.
