Imagine being alive and present for this music festival and fight
![Screen grab from Wikipedia about the Zaire 74 music festival. Copy reads:
In addition to promoting the Ali-Foreman fight, the Zaire 74 event was intended to present and promote racial and cultural solidarity between African American and African people. Thirty one performing groups, 17 from Zaire and 14 from overseas, performed. Featured performers included top R&B and soul artists from the United States such as James Brown, Bill Withers, B.B. King, and The Spinners as well as prominent African performers such as Miriam Makeba, Zaïko Langa Langa,[2] TPOK Jazz, and Tabu Ley Rochereau. Other performers included Celia Cruz and the Fania All-Stars.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q627aggwblzyivqciqtsaokz/bafkreib6bvwzlhoslgdswlxsjcm6dakvafe3cywwmkm5ujao47i64fmxva@jpeg)
