"James Brown was outrageous. That's James Brown, man. If you don't like it, then go somewhere else!" Thirty-five years on and the concert promoter Stewart Levine - a bundle of effusive, New York energy - is still bowled over describing the godfather of soul's trip to Zaire. Whilst Brown was far too professional to ever give a bad concert, for one night in 1974, deep within Central Africa, everything came together like never before. Spurred on by the receptive Kinshasa crowd, and dressed in an all-in-one bodysuit, he shifted into another gear. With a full array of shimmies, trademark yelps and that inimitable voice, Brown was simply in a league of his own.
The singer headlined Zaire 74, a concert bringing together some of the world's greatest African-American and Afro-Latin stars for three nights of music. The brainchild of Levine and the South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela, the organisers were motivated by a desire to promote African music to Westerners still largely ignorant of culture beyond their limited domestic horizons. And when the seemingly invincible American boxer George Foreman decided to the fight former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali in the Zairean capital - the infamous Rumble in the Jungle - the two men immediately sought to organise a music festival around the match. "When I first heard about the fight it just came to me," Levine recalls. "I said, 'How about three days of music and fighting?' We had great energy and there was nobody around like there is today to say no. Everybody kept saying yes!"
For all the razzmatazz surrounding the Rumble in the Jungle, the music remains the stuff of legend, spoken about in hushed tones by aficionados the world over. James Brown aside, the concerts brought together a staggering wealth of talent, from the New York salseros The Fania All Stars, the Cuban diva Celia Cruz, the South African chanteuse Miriam Makeba, to the blues and soul legends The Spinners, BB King and Bill Withers. Yet media attention has consistently focused on the fight - and one of the great comebacks of all time by Ali. This mythic status of the sporting event resulted in 1996's Oscar-winning documentary When We Were Kings, directed by Leon Gast. Only now, thanks to the release of Soul Power - a documentary about Zaire 74 - has the music started to receive the attention it deserves.
But why has it taken 35 years to make a film? The answer lies in the immediate aftermath of the concert when the production company hired to make the film went bankrupt, leaving post-production work incomplete and a decade-long dispute over rights that eventually led to David Sonenberg and Gast emerging with joint ownership of the archival film reels. While Gast was unable to get the music and fighting elements to work together in one film - deciding to focus on the Ali-Foreman clash in Kings - Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, who was doing editorial work on the film, saw the amount of incredible unused footage being returned to storage and decided to make his own film focusing on the music.
"I felt that Soul Power was crying out to be brought to the public," the director and producer explains. "Particularly as time went on: James Brown passed away, as well as Miriam Makeba, Celia Cruz and others. It really dawned on me that this was an end of an era and I wanted to give audiences the opportunity to see what it was like in its prime." Levy-Hinte immersed himself in the staggeringly high-quality footage - around 125 hours in total -primarily captured by the cinematographers Albert Maysles, Paul Goldsmith, Kevin Keating and Roderick Young.
The challenge was to make Soul Power a coherent piece of cinema. Levy-Hinte was conscious of the high benchmark set by Kings and didn't want his film to be a "lesser cousin". With this in mind, he decided to shun the retrospective model of documentary that relies on interviews, instead making a vérité-style film without a commentary to guide the viewer. This was a film where the footage, and the footage alone, would be the focus. Levine was keen that the film be made this way. "The film talks, man - let it talk," he stresses. "Let it be about what people play and say rather than what we say about it." Levy-Hinte agrees. "I really wanted to make the film distinct, both subject-wise and aesthetically, from When We Were Kings," he says. "In a way, in my mind I was channelling, 'What would they have done in 1975? What would have turned them on?'"
Ironically, Levy-Hinte was a small child when the Rumble in the Jungle took place and working on Kings, and subsequently Soul Power, was an educational "revelation". Yet when he talks about the camera work, he often uses the third person as if he'd been part of the film crew in Zaire, such is the profound effect that working with the footage has had on him. "I wanted to create a film that gave the feeling that I was living in the moment," he adds. "That I'm in the banquet hall when they're introducing the musicians; that I'm in the stadium as they put the stage together; that I'm there at night for the performances and backstage."
One criticism is that the vérité style doesn't have enough entry points for the casual viewer who may have an interest in the musicians but wants more contextual information. Other than the title card at the start of the film explaining the fight setting and the Liberian funding, the viewer has to wait until the end credits before the individual musicians are named. Levy-Hinte is humble enough to realise that this might not be to everyone's taste. "I tried to find the right balance," he explains. "I felt that to go further with the more informational tip would undermine the experiential." He wanted viewers to feel, like him, that they were part of the concert and not simply watching a movie about it. For the DVD release, a range of extras will address this issue.
What is in no doubt from the footage is the sense of camaraderie among the musicians and the sense of occasion they felt about a "return to the roots" trip to Africa. The film captures a fascinating juncture in both black America's history - still in the grip of the black- power movement - and Africa's first confident post-independence steps. As African-American musicians were beginning to get the domestic recognition they had long craved, Africa seemed like a place where anything was possible. This was a time before corrupt leaders cemented their grip on power and the continent was blighted by famine and widespread disease. While Brown was telling the crowd to be black and proud, posters around the concert stadium saluted President Mobutu's Zaire for being the place where black power had already been realised.
But despite the political undercurrents - and the musicians' general lack of knowledge about the less savoury aspects of Mobutu's regime - the music speaks loudest in Soul Power. Although international attention was firmly focused on the fight, Levine says that within Africa, interest was very different.
"In Africa at that time, people were obsessed with these artists," he says. "Some people were into boxing, but I gotta tell you, more people were into music." The Latin music of Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco went down a storm because it had clear links with the Cuban-influenced rumba of local acts Tabu Ley Rochereau and Franco. Meanwhile, the snaking guitar of BB King was similar to the raw, desert blues of West Africa. These were performers at the very top of their game at the high point of funk and soul.
With such an array of talent, what are the stand-out performances for Levine and Levy-Hinte? Predictably, it is hard to pin them down to a specific artist. After the obligatory James Brown mention, Levine goes for Bill Withers. "With Withers there was something that was unbelievable," he says excitedly. "You're in the middle of Zaire, it's three in the morning in 1974 and here's this guy that the crowd don't know that well - he'd had just one or two hits - and he stunned the audience." Levy-Hinte, meanwhile, picks BB King. "There's something in the way he turns the music," he says, admiringly. "He freezes it; it's so engaging."
In the nearly four decades that have passed since Zaire 74, it is hard to think of a greater set of musicians ever sharing the same stage. There has certainly never been such an exciting nexus of musicianship, adventure and exoticism. The concert became such a mythical event because, in many ways, it was a non-event. Twenty-four hours before the fight had been scheduled to go ahead, Foreman got cut by his sparring partner in training and the fight had to be put back six weeks. The fight and concert, originally planned to run side by side, ended up being six weeks apart because it was too late to change the performers' arrangements.
And so the musicians descended on Kinshasa without the hook of the big fight to keep the media interested. Instead, Levine says, it was "like a big house party" where any notions of prima-donna status were left firmly in the States and the artists simply got on with performing one of the greatest concerts of all time.
Exhausted and exhilarated in equal measure, Levine walked away at the end of it vowing to never attempt anything similar again. He instead turned his hand to producing ("Everything was easy after that," he says), enjoying a long and distinguished career with artists including Simply Red and Jamie Cullum. But those heady days in Kinshasa refuse to go away quietly. "We never dreamed the film would be coming out 35 years later," he says. "I'm glad that I'm still around to see it."
The smuggler
Eldarir had arrived at JFK in January 2020 with three suitcases, containing goods he valued at $300, when he was directed to a search area.
Officers found 41 gold artefacts among the bags, including amulets from a funerary set which prepared the deceased for the afterlife.
Also found was a cartouche of a Ptolemaic king on a relief that was originally part of a royal building or temple.
The largest single group of items found in Eldarir’s cases were 400 shabtis, or figurines.
Khouli conviction
Khouli smuggled items into the US by making false declarations to customs about the country of origin and value of the items.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he provided “false provenances which stated that [two] Egyptian antiquities were part of a collection assembled by Khouli's father in Israel in the 1960s” when in fact “Khouli acquired the Egyptian antiquities from other dealers”.
He was sentenced to one year of probation, six months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service in 2012 after admitting buying and smuggling Egyptian antiquities, including coffins, funerary boats and limestone figures.
For sale
A number of other items said to come from the collection of Ezeldeen Taha Eldarir are currently or recently for sale.
Their provenance is described in near identical terms as the British Museum shabti: bought from Salahaddin Sirmali, "authenticated and appraised" by Hossen Rashed, then imported to the US in 1948.

Subj: Accelerating in the Middle East
Five years ago, Uber launched in the Middle East. It was the start of an incredible journey, with millions of riders and drivers finding new ways to move and work in a dynamic region that’s become so important to Uber. Now Pakistan is one of our fastest-growing markets in the world, women are driving with Uber across Saudi Arabia, and we chose Cairo to launch our first Uber Bus product late last year.
Today we are taking the next step in this journey—well, it’s more like a leap, and a big one: in a few minutes, we’ll announce that we’ve agreed to acquire Careem. Importantly, we intend to operate Careem independently, under the leadership of co-founder and current CEO Mudassir Sheikha. I’ve gotten to know both co-founders, Mudassir and Magnus Olsson, and what they have built is truly extraordinary. They are first-class entrepreneurs who share our platform vision and, like us, have launched a wide range of products—from digital payments to food delivery—to serve consumers.
I expect many of you will ask how we arrived at this structure, meaning allowing Careem to maintain an independent brand and operate separately. After careful consideration, we decided that this framework has the advantage of letting us build new products and try new ideas across not one, but two, strong brands, with strong operators within each. Over time, by integrating parts of our networks, we can operate more efficiently, achieve even lower wait times, expand new products like high-capacity vehicles and payments, and quicken the already remarkable pace of innovation in the region.
This acquisition is subject to regulatory approval in various countries, which we don’t expect before Q1 2020. Until then, nothing changes. And since both companies will continue to largely operate separately after the acquisition, very little will change in either teams’ day-to-day operations post-close. Today’s news is a testament to the incredible business our team has worked so hard to build.
It’s a great day for the Middle East, for the region’s thriving tech sector, for Careem, and for Uber.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”
