i know i posted some fania all stars show from the 70's
Freaking awesome. The best part is the footage of the kids running around in El Barrio, through the alleys and empty lots and shit. A lost gem.
I have it on VHS, DVD, shitty dubs, and the LP that I scored still sealed somewhere many years back.
"??Qu?? viva la musica! Latin music power, yeah!"
You mean realheadz was actually worth paying for. =(
Any chance we could get a re-up.
I got Fania in Africa. More people need to see this video.

In 1974 Celia Cruz & The Fania All Stars were invited to take part in a 3-day festival in celebration of black sports and entertainment in Kinshasa, Zaire. Their original performance on the first day caused such a hysterical response from the audience that they were invited back two days later for an encore performance. The concert was part of the famous Rumble in the Jungle title fight between the reigning champion George Foreman and the greatest, Muhammad Ali. Their phenomenal performance to an audience of 80,000 people at the Stadu du Hai was shot in 35mm on sic camaras by director Leon Gast (who won an Academy Award for Whn We Were Kings.) Featuring Johnny Pacheco, Cheo Feliano, Hector Lavoe and Roberto Roena.
