Blues Come to Zaire

B. B. King is captured on film during a live performance in Kinshasa, Zaire in 1974.

This concert was part of a three day celebration of sports and music that also featured the heavyweight championship fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, “Rumble in the Jungle”. It was filmed by Leon Gast, the director behind the Academy Award nominated documentary “When We Were Kings”.
