“Zaire’74” 음악 축제는 미국 최정상의 R&B 음악가들인 제임스 브라운, 마이티 JBs, 빌 위더스, 비비 킹, 더 스피너스 등이 참여한 공연이었다. 축제는 1974년, ‘럼블 인 더 정글(Rumble in the Jungle)’로 잘 알려진 무하마드 알리와 조지 포먼의 권투 경기와 함께 자이르의 킨샤사에서 열렸다. 이들의 여정과 공연을 촬영하기 위해 고용된 다큐멘터리 팀은 공연과 무대 뒤는 물론 킨샤사의 거리 모습까지 함께 담아냈다. 알리와 포먼의 권투 경기에 포커스를 맞춘 촬영 분량은 1996년 아카데미상을 수상한 다큐멘터리 영화 로 만들어졌고, 는 새롭게 편집된 미공개 영상들을 통해 아프리카와 미국의 음악이 융화되는 현장으로 관객들을 안내하는 타임캡슐이 되어줄 것이다.

In 1974, Muhammad Ali and George Foreman held their heavyweight title fight in Zaire, billing it as the "Rumble in the Jungle". A three-day music festival was staged concurrently, and B.B. King was the headlining act. Anyone who has ever had the fortune to see B.B. King play live, even in his later, seated years knows that he is a consummate showman. B.B. King: Live in Africa '74 presents the man at the peak of his powers, as a performer and as a player.

It's 1974. Muhammad Ali is 32 and thought by many to be past his prime. George Foreman is ten years younger and the heavyweight champion of the world. Promoter Don King wants to make a name for himself and offers both fighters five million dollars apiece to fight one another, and when they accept, King has only to come up with the money. He finds a willing backer in Mobutu Sese Suko, the dictator of Zaire, and the "Rumble in the Jungle" is set, including a musical festival featuring some of America's top black performers, like James Brown and B.B. King.
