Customer Reviews of Celia Cruz and the Fania Allstars in Africa
ONE OF THE BEST SALSA PERFORMANCES EVER! In 1974, the Godmother of Salsa, Celia Cruz was invited to perform in front of 80,000 black fans in Kinshasa, Zaire. The three day festival and one of the greatest fights of the century between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali were a celebration of black sports and music. Celia Cruz appears with the Fania All Stars led by Johnny Pacheco. Also featured is the incredible rhythm section of Ray Baretto. This inspired concert was shot by Academy Award winner Leon Gast.
Formerly on video as "Fania All Stars Live In Africa," this was filmed and recorded in Zaire. The greatest challenge (according to the original pre-DVD video box notes) for the Fania All Stars was their African tour since the music's roots are African rhythms that were cultivated in the Caribbean islands and further developed in New York. The music had now come full circle, and the African people responded with an incredible emotional fervor. Pacheco, Lavoe, and, of course, Celia Cruz are great. However, the scene with Roberto Roena dancing is alone worth the price of this DVD.
Todo latino debe tenerlo. ..!!
Los mejores exponentes de la salsa ,y con la mejor orquesta de todos los tiempos "Fania all Star" en la dirección del maestro Pacheco.Este es un DVD que todos debemos tener ,100% calidad.Con apariciones de Cheo Feliciano , cantando "el ratón", con Jorge santana en la guitarra , hermano de Carlos. Y el desaparecido Hector Lavoe, con uno de sus mejores clásicos , "Que cante mi gente".Así como tambien dos versiones de Guantanamera , cantadas por Celia cruz y La Fania.En verdad,se los recomiendo.No se arrepentiran.
Great but too pricey for the content
I'm a huge salsa fan and this dvd is a must see for any old school fan. However I don't think this is a must buy at the price of $17. The dvd is poorly produced without even a main menu or any special features (not even a plug for other fania music). the dvd only includes 6 songs, one of those in two versions for a total of 7 for a total running time of 53 min. I love watching Hector Lavoe singing "Mi Gente" trying to dance and wearing a green shirt and red pants. All performers were the tops in their field and most continue to be close to the top today (20 yrs later!) even if they stopped performing. Bottom line, if price isn't an issue buy this. Otherwise, rent it or ask a friend for a copy before you decide to purchase it.
